Kotaku said the project "has largely avoided legal scrutiny" before now, so it took about three years for Take-Two to take action against it.

They had a while to achieve that goal: GTA III was released in 2001, GTA Vice City debuted in 2002, and work on the re3 project started in 2018. It seems the biggest problem is that re3 made it possible to play GTA III and GTA Vice City on new hardware The project's contributors say they made the games run on the "Windows, Linux, MacOS and FreeBSD" operating systems and "on x86, amd64, arm and arm64" processors.
