I think you're misunderstanding what's up.
Rockstar made GTA V for PC free through the Epic Games Store until the 21st (cool). I already own console versions of GTA V (physical on X360, digital on X1) but I claimed a free copy of GTA V through the Epic Games Store because I wanted to try some graphical mods, which you can only do on PC versions.
However, GTA V on PC has an incredibly restrictive DRM scheme that requires both a) the distribution platform (Steam, Epic) and b) the Rockstar Social Club / Game Launcher be online in order to play, period. If either one of those goes down or your internet is offline, you can't play the game, period, not even the offline campaign.
So with a massive influx of new people downloading / playing GTA V for PC plus the people who were already playing it, RDR 2, etc., Rockstar's notoriously sh-t servers have been living up to their reputation meaning I got to play the game for about 4 minutes yesterday and it hasn't worked all day today.
The mod has nothing to do with the game not working, it was just the reason I wanted to play the PC version over the console version.
