This trademark dispute between Remedy and Take-Two is brought to you by the letter R

This is a weird one: Back in April 2023, Remedy Entertainment unveiled a new logo, a stylized “R” it said represented “a fresh and refined look” for the studio. But, as discovered by Respawn First, Take-Two Interactive has filed oppositions to Remedy’s trademark application in the UK and EU, claiming a “likelihood of confusion” with […]

Title card: The Grand Theft Auto 6 Sunscreen Mystery. Fade in: Interior. A detective’s office. Shutters keep the glow of street lamps at bay.

The 18-Year-Old Hacker Behind The ‘GTA 6’ Leak Has Been Sentenced To A ‘Secured Hospital’ For Life

Last year, Rockstar Games was hit by a massive leak that not only confirmed the existence of Grand Theft Auto VI, but dumped a horde of videos on several online message boards. Considering the game studio only just released the first trailer in December 2023, the company was still far away from sharing GTA VI […]

Florida Joker issues 3-day countdown threat and takes to cosplay in his war on GTA 6’s supposed use of his likeness, then demands an ‘extra million dollars’ for his trouble

Say what you like about Lawrence Sullivan, also known as the Florida Joker, but you have to admire his tenacity. After calling Rockstar out for a character in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer who bore a resemblance to his own viral mugshot and demanding “a mil or two” in recompense, he’s now upped the […]

With Grand Theft Auto 6’s Lucia being the series’ first proper leading lady, I’m hoping she doesn’t become another caricature or stereotype

Last week Rockstar sent gamers absolutely feral when it dropped the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, albeit a little earlier than planned. It was 90 seconds chock-full of prime GTA vibes—we were given a great look at a modern-day Vice City, a whole host of real Florida Man behaviour, and a first peep […]

A former Grand Theft Auto dev weighs in on GTA 6’s delayed PC version: ‘it’s hard to do that as a developer, because the team isn’t big enough’

Grand Theft Auto 6 didn’t get a PC release date along with its trailer. Historical precedent isn’t promising either, since Red Dead Redemption 2’s port took 13 months to make the jump, while GTA 5 took a whopping 19.  At the time of writing, though, GTA 5 is number 10 on the top sellers list […]

Arthur Morgan’s voice actor TikTok responds to GTA 6’s Florida Joker and his demands—’you ain’t getting a job at Home Depot with that face’—then deletes the video

If I had a 2023 bingo card, I can guarantee that ‘the voice actor for Arthur Morgan got in a TikTok feud with the Florida Joker’ would not be on it. It feels like a sentence written by putting a bunch of names on a corkboard and throwing darts at it. For context: last week […]

GTA 6 detectives think its first trailer actually plays out in reverse—all thanks to an ankle bracelet with some grim, real-world implications

I’m typically sceptical of trailer scrubbers—and there are a hell of a lot of them with Grand Theft Auto 6. Can’t blame them, obviously, it’s been 10 whole years since we last got a GTA game.  But they’ve really been ravenous this time—drawing circles around moles, driving up Spotify numbers, and having some would-be players […]

Florida’s real-life Joker calls out Rockstar over apparent cameo in GTA 6 trailer: ‘We gotta talk’

Innocent, dew-eyed babe that I am, I had no idea that the heavily tatted criminal who makes a brief appearance in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer looked like a real guy. But he does, and now I will live with that knowledge until my last days. He resembles Florida Joker—real name Lawrence Sullivan—a resident […]

GTA 6 trailer smashes a YouTube viewership record—but still can’t compare with another three-letter acronym

Before GTA 6 has the chance to break the sales records we’re all expecting it to, its 90-second trailer has been busy shattering a couple YouTube records. Since Rockstar Games posted the trailer on Tuesday it’s racked up a staggering 110 million views. What’s really remarkable is that over 90 million of those views came […]

GTA 6 players fall in love with ‘bikini girl’, start drawing red circles and cross-referencing photos to prove she’s the game’s new lady lead

So, Grand Theft Auto 6’s trailer came a little early—thanks to some unfortunate leaks that bungled its initial announcement timing. It pretty much set the internet on fire, crushing 60 million views in 12 hours. At the time of writing, that’s up to 70 million. GTA’s back, baby. Well, sort of. We’re gonna be waiting […]
