Man Sues Rockstar Saying GTA:SA Is Based On His Life

Posted by samzenpus on from the a-life-full-of-missions dept.

dotarray writes "From the article: 'Rockstar Games are no strangers to legal action, but it doesn't come stranger than this. An American model, Michael Washington (known as "Shagg") is suing the publisher — as well as parent company Take Two Interactive — because they based Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on his life.'" It's a good thing Washington never learned the infinite ammo cheat.

    If GTA was really based off of this man's life, he wouldn't be suing Rockstar in the court of law. Rockstar's HQ would be full of bullet holes.

    I spent a lot of my childhood playing video games. You guys have way more exciting lives than I do.
