The ambitious VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077 has been abruptly shut down after CD Projekt Red filed a DMCA takedown, citing concerns about the mod’s creator charging for access. Luke Ross, the developer behind the project, had gained a lot of attention for his impressive work bringing virtual reality into Night City. But the developer’s choice to place the mod behind a paywall didn’t sit well with CD Projekt, who pushed for its removal and insisted the paywall be dropped.
Ross, no stranger to pushing the boundaries of modding, fired back with some pointed criticism of CD Projekt, accusing them of prioritizing profits over creative community efforts. While the mod’s sudden disappearance will surely disappoint fans eager to explore Cyberpunk 2077 through VR, it also highlights the ongoing tension between modders and publishers navigating monetization and intellectual property in the evolving landscape of game modifications.
