The creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod, Luke Ross, has removed his mods from Patreon due to a DMCA strike from Ghostrunner developer 505 Games. Ross expressed frustration over the DMCA process, stating that big companies can easily claim copyright infringement with minimal evidence, leaving creators like him vulnerable. He announced on Patreon that all mod versions and related content would be made unavailable to prevent further claims against him. Ross's history with DMCA strikes includes a previous claim from CD Projekt Red regarding the VR mod's breach of fan work guidelines. This situation has forced him to clarify that new Patreon subscriptions will not grant access to the mods, as they are currently inaccessible.
