After all, it's all about having fun in the end." This modern love

After some years of 'separating the sheep from the goats', the community became very strong and players loved the idea of having the fairest games possible.

I worked hard to detect them and make sure that each player was completely clean, with not even a mod menu installed. El Fuga says: "Some of them were undercover inside communities doing it subtly. Shortly after this, with the help of channels such as GTAForums, a flood of new players discovered GTA 4 online for the first time – who El Fuga says were amazed by the competitiveness of matches among expert players who knew the quirks of the game inside out.Īt this point, the ability to spot modders became a crucial part of keeping the community alive. In 2018, things kicked off properly when El Fuga and a raft of other GTA 4 online enthusiasts found themselves tired of other online games, and returned to the streets of Liberty City. It wasn't until the same players started chatting behind the scenes that they realised forming a stronger, more dedicated, inclusive community who played clean and fair was the only way to revive the game they loved. For El Fuga, this flood of players breaking the rules and ruining sessions was enough to push him, and many other players who'd been around since day one, to the fringes of the GTA 4 online scene.
