It's not a problem for copyright as you can't say that it is copied, as it's only the concept... "Sass"... Please stop trying to take offence at something that's expressed to you, after all, so many try to coin this when their 'points' have been shot to shit. After all, you were saying that it wasn't true. If you don't understand capabilities in script, then please, don't try tell people that it's not anything that can happen. Hell, even some RP servers over time have allowed IP logins. You can't be sued for taking a concept, and making a copy... Hell, look at all the CoD servers, and the new PUBG modes... If this were the case, we'd have been served already, which hasn't occurred.

"Master Accounts" have been a thing since Day 1 of MMORPGs and similar genres. Even GTA O wasn't the first, there were SAMP and MTA Servers offering multiple characters on one account before GTA IV. Just saying, I don't think you can argue it being stolen from GTA V since it was a thing way before that.
About IPs and the ban evading topic, you are completely right imo. Ban evasion can be done even with a Master Account system, so that alone will not do much (except you loose multiple characters at once which should be taking away motivation to start over, for good - but that's not a real "pro" for Master Accs).
