Grand Theft Auto V's Steam entry has been swarmed with negative reviews following Take Two Interactive's decision to shutdown the popular modding tool OpenIV with a legal cease and desist letter. In just a weeks time, over 42,000 reviews have been published on the Grand Theft Auto V steam page, the overwhelming majority of them negative (only 13 percent were positive). This is in stark contrast to the games usual rating, which is generally positive. It appears to have had such an impact as to actually make the game's overall rating fall into steams "mixed" rating territory.Obviously, PC gamers everywhere are unwavering in their strong support of game changing mods, and publishers would be wise to approach modding projects they feel violate their rights with a soft-touch where possible. But it does raise a good question, how far is too far in PC modding? If you have to circumvent DRM to enable mods, is it wrong? Legally speaking, it often is, but should it be?
