Multi theft auto for other GTA games?

[KraZ]

Hey Im wondering why is there no MultiTheftAuto for IV/Ballad Of Gay Tony/Lost And Damned?

And will there be one for GTA:V? Because I love MTA its the best multiplayer software for GrandTheftAuto and I would love to be able to play it on GTA:V or even create a server on it, Wouldn't it be easier to create a MTA client for these games since multiplayer is already built in so all you are doing is modding the multiplayer software to add support for custom servers and GUI's and stuff?

There are no enough developers, I guess that's the problem.

And no, it ain't that easy as changing the game to add GUIs ( lol! ) and custom servers. Each game has been developed in a different way, with different engines.

If MTA had the amount of developers - say 6-7 years ago - than I'd say absolutely. However, as the guy above said, the numbers aren't around anymore. It's a big ask considering the new generation of GTA (IV & onwards) is a whole different platform compared to SA and the previous versions.

I would never-say-never though because at least MTA is open-sourced which it wasn't all those years back. Therefore that doesn't say somebody might not come along one day, share their knowledge and make it happen.
