Grand Theft Auto RP streamer Shotz is threatening to take legal action against fellow streamer Penta for copyright infringement. For those who don't know, the GTA RP servers are role-playing servers for the popular video game, Grand Theft Auto 5. This means that players can create characters and interact with other players in the game world in a more realistic way. For example, players can choose to be police officers, criminals, or civilians, and they can interact with each other in a variety of ways. GTA RP servers typically have a number of rules and guidelines that players must follow, and players are often grouped into factions or gangs.
Shotz and Penta are two of the most popular Grand Theft Auto RP streamers because of their high-octane gameplay and willingness to take risks. This has led to some spectacular moments being caught on stream, and both streamers are also known for their outgoing personality and willingness to interact with viewers. This has made them both respected and well-liked streamers in the GTA RP community while having a large, supportive fan base that only seems to be getting bigger as time goes on.
GTA RP servers have been one of the key factors in keeping GTA 5 relevant despite the game being over 7 years old; however, when big streamers join the same communities, it can sometimes lead to major controversies. In a recent controversy, streamer Shotz has threatened to take legal action against fellow streamer Penta for using his voice for sub-alert notifications on Twitch. In a stream on December 29, Shotz discussed the matter and said that if he gets any proof that Penta is using his voice for sub-alert notifications, he will send it to his lawyer and handle the matter accordingly.
Penta was quick to respond to Shotz's allegations, saying that Shotz was already aware that his voice was being used in the alert and that they had even discussed the matter previously. It's still unclear if Shotz will be filing a lawsuit against Penta as both streamers are acquainted with each other and have even interacted with each other on GTA RP servers. Penta's claim also appears to be credible as he said that his voice Twitch notification is 3 years old. Penta is a streamer who refused a $5 million offer from Facebook, so it is safe to say that he can afford to buy or create a unique Twitch sub-notification sound.
Back in March 2022, xQc who is one of the most-watched Twitch streamers spoke out against GTA RP servers. He pointed out that some players take unfair advantage of the freedom given to them in the game, which can eventually lead to controversies. Now, to ensure that all players have a fair and fun experience while role-playing in GTA 5, Rockstar Games has also updated its policies for RP servers.
