...Which means they're also now owned by Take-Two, if I'm reading it correctly.

Interesting timing, as soon as we're getting involved in the GTA RP scene - this happens

Although there's no need to be doom and gloom about it, tbh. If Rockstar embraces FiveM/The RP scene for their games - the potential for those projects skyrocket. We'll see how it goes

Everytime something that involves an online community has Rockstar in it I get pretty pessimistic tbh.
Cunts killed Red Dead Online by trying to make it another soulless grind or spend real money simulator like GTA Online

That's true and I'm sure the people who run the other GTA RP project (RAGE MP I think it's called?) are probably pissed off with this whole ordeal

It's too early to say if this is a good thing or a bad thing, I imagine they might clamp down on a lot of monetary practices a lot of servers running FiveM use, but again I can't really say for certain

Plus the people running FiveM aren't changing so I imagine it won't change drastically, at least not in the short term.

Buddha, the streamer
it's alleged, but with the money they pull in it's not far-fetched
That's interesting, if you have a clip or smth I'd be interested to see

NoPixel had a hand in the talks of the acquisition as did other servers
Doubt it, at most they might've spoken to Cfx about it but that would likely be a violation of an NDA as per negotiation period.

Wonder if this was done to avoid a C&D, get them on board, protect the ip rights and avoid the fury of the modding scene again.

My guess would be that this is likely more of a situation where they were either acquired or potentially shut down.

yeah that's more or less my assumption, but you actually managed comprehensible phrasing, unlike myself lol.

An interesting thought on this happening though, the reverse engineers that have been crucial to Cfx are no longer needed.
