Overview
- Project lead Swegta announced the mod’s permanent closure, stating, “The Bully Online project is shutting down.”
- The team said the official server, source code, webpages, and launcher downloads will be removed and all account data permanently deleted within 24 hours.
- A team message told players “this was not something we wanted,” and said Swegta is preparing a video statement with more details.
- Coverage notes the mod’s paid early-access release via Ko‑Fi may have drawn scrutiny from Rockstar/Take‑Two’s lawyers, though no public legal filing has been disclosed.
- The mod’s pages were pulled from swegta.com and Mod DB, with archived versions still visible, as outlets contextualize Rockstar’s mixed history of strict enforcement and selective support for mods.
