It got pulled after DMA got sued for copyright infringement on the design and personalities of the unicycles in the game. The only place you could find a copy was at game rental places.
Huh… I must have gotten my copy before that happened. And lol at the reason. Who the hell held the copyright to the 'cycles personalities? From what I remember, they were all the same anyway, just different colored.
Edit: Oh shit, it was Pixar. And reading the case, and the evidence, it was a bullshit suit and the judge was an idiot. 🤦♂️
I actually just replayed it recently for the first time since around release (I don’t fuck with GTA:O) and I’ve got to say, it holds up really fucking well

The article seems to have missed a lot of games from their DMA era. The Wikipedia article is more complete than the IGN one.
I hadn’t realized that GTA V was 10 years old now. Damn.
