What a boring plot
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;47771925]for what is an obviously biased source im surprised how unbiased this is[/QUOTE] The BBCs self reporting is REALLY unbiased. Its really weird, especially when they are talking on the news about themselves.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;47771925]for what is an obviously biased source im surprised how unbiased this is[/QUOTE] The point of the BBC is to be unbiased. Take-Two doesn't really have any ground to stand on. They're not complaining that the BBC is making a film about Rockstar without their permission, because they would obviously have it. Not that they would legally need it. They would just need to thank Rockstar in the credits and attribute any of their content to them. Unless they built a new GTA out of existing GTA assets they're breaking no law. Their problem is Take-Two think viewers are being mislead to believe Rockstar are involved with the production of the film. Which they're not. The BBC never said they have, and it wouldn't be a very impartial film if Rockstar were involved in the production. Promotion of the film hasn't even started. Unelss it has the Rockstar logo in the credits and poster I can't see where Take-Two thinks this is coming from? It seems to be Take-Two is underestimating audience intelligence. Nobody came out of that film about George W Bush and said "Wow how great was it Mr Bush worked on that film". Nobody assumed the subject is involved with a film about them, especially when nobody says they are.

They don't even do competitions now in fear of getting in trouble.
I didn't know that the game Grand Theft Auto was an entity that could issue lawsuits.
