1The bigger your fan base, the higher the chance you’ll attract a few genuine lunatics. Just ask the guys from Love Fist. Now Rockstar Games is facing something similar (surprisingly, it took this long).
Among those who can’t wait for the release of GTA 6, there turned up a so-called content maker who apparently decided that stalking Rockstar North employees — the main studio behind Grand Theft Auto VI — would be a fun way to entertain his followers. In the evenings, he waited outside the main office (easy enough to find in Edinburgh), pestering staff with questions like whether there would be another delay or when the next trailer would drop. Naturally, he didn’t get any answers — that sort of info isn’t known even to most people at the studio. This is exactly the kind of situation where Take-Two and its lawyers should step in to protect their employees. Legal action would be far more appropriate here than in their usual crusades against modders. All the more so since videos from social media can be used as evidence in court. If this story is simply brushed off, who knows how future “encounters” between this creep and the developers might end.
