“Look at this guy and look at me.” It must be recognized that the resemblance between one of the characters in the GTA 6 trailer and the Tiktok user “zoeepoppyy” is evident. Pair of glasses with gold leaflets, dreadlocks, chain with big links and gold teeth, it’s all there.
In a video published on the Chinese social network Tiktok on December 21 and which has more than 150,000 views, the American issues a seven-day ultimatum to Rockstar to “resolve this matter.”
“Speak like men”
The excerpt in the middle of the dispute, which lasts only two seconds, could have gone unnoticed. But not for this Floridian. “I don’t want to go report this to the police. Or go to court for a trial. We can talk about it like men, Rockstar. Bring me someone to talk to about it,” he says.
In the first trailer of GTA 6, revealed on social media at the beginning of December, we see the character in question, with a gold watch on his wrist, gold glasses and dreadlocks in an environment reminiscent of Florida. A usurpation of his “image” and his “life,” according to him.
This American is not the first to try to get money from Rockstar Games since the trailer was published. In early December, Lawrence Sullivan, who describes himself as the “real Florida prankster,” also invited the GTA 6 editor to a conversation about him.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise was already facing lawsuits from actress Lindsay Lohan, including one of the characters in GTA 5 is inspired freely. However, the New York court rejected the complaint because the actress’s name and photo had never been used in the game.
Previously, it was Ferrari that lost the case against the publisher, while GTA 4 He used the Prancing Horse brand codes for some of the vehicles in the game.
