VR Modder Luke Ross Pulls 40+ VR Conversions After Second DMCA From 505 Games

Patreon compliance with rights‑holder notices has left supporters without access during a month‑long billing pause.

Overview

  • Ross says publisher 505 Games filed a DMCA over his Ghostrunner VR conversion, following CD Projekt’s earlier takedown of his Cyberpunk 2077 mod.
  • He removed all versions of his mods and related Patreon posts to avoid further claims, stating that no access to the 40+ conversions will be provided for now.
  • His Patreon page warns new subscriptions provide support only, while billing is paused for one month and existing subscriptions are extended without new charges.
  • Ross says Patreon automatically complied with the notices, and he noted his account is at risk of termination after repeated strikes.
  • CD Projekt objected to the mods being paywalled and indicated optional donations would be acceptable, but Ross argues making the mods free would not prevent DMCA actions, citing past takedowns.
