GTA 5 publisher Rockstar Games does have a policy of banning players caught using hacks to cheat on multiplayer. While some gamers expressed either indifference or amusement, other players have started attacking would-be rapists in an effort to curb these abuses. A number of the virtual rapists posted videos of their exploits on YouTube and other sites linked with social media. Once this was done, they proceeded to sodomize their victims. The perpetrators apparently modified the game's code to allow them to immobilize the avatars of other players. 'Worse, when he's done, you are stuck doing strip dances.'
'You cannot kill him and there is nothing you can do about it,' Reddit user mrerikmattila recalled.
Players affected by this mod expressed frustration that they were powerless once the act had been committed. Gamers frequenting the Grand Theft Auto V multiplayer online section have reported the presence of a third-party hack that allows rape to occur in the game.Īn overwhelming majority of those targeted had female avatars, even though those with male characters were also attacked.
