Simpsons Producer: Rockstar "...like babies"

October 29, 2007 in News comments 9

Apparently Rockstar doesn't like it when people make fun of GTA. They come up with lame parodies all the time in the Grand Theft Auto series, but other people can't do the same with GTA? Way to be smart, Rockstar. It's a joke. It's not like they're making a direct reference to the game without paying you for it. Grow up and get a life, seriously.

...In other news, if Grand Theft Scratchy is a parody of Grand Theft Auto, is Marge Simpson a parody of Jack Thompson by being against video game violence?

Rockstar objected to satirical GTA references in the upcoming The Simpsons game (see: Rockstar Bullies EA Over Parody).

Specifically, a poster for Grand Theft Scratchy, a GTA parody which appears in The Simpsons, drew Rockstar’s ire.

    Wow, I used to think Rockstar was cool. Now I see they can't take a joke.

    Seriously guys, stop being bitches. If you don't want people joking about your games, then don't joke about their games.

    Yeah, this is plain stupid...and uncool Rockstar dishes this shit out all the time but apparently can't take it.

    I saw an episode of Gamehead where one of the guys from The Simpsons Game says rockstar sucks at satire, and when Geoffe(host of the show) asked if he was calling out rockstar he said no. But then added It's not really funny when you just add 69 to the end of everything.

    Well, I dunno if they were getting paranoid or whatever...but with the constant scandals they frequently find themselves in, that probably prompted some sort of an aggressive attitude on Rockstar's part. They should chill out though, Simpsons game is shit as it is.

    Of course, I'm not gonna be a hypocrite, call them bitches and then buy their game...Hahaha, that's funny "Rockstar, you *bleep*ing crybabies, *Takes GTA4* Awesome game btw".

    Rockstar....they parody shit themselves and those parodied usually don't give a damn, but ZOMG when they get parodied, it's the end of the *bleep*ing world.

    I spose now you'll go chase down sites such as Newgrounds for the flash parodies uploaded based around GTA or you'll go chase down some mods for different games to make the game a GTA parody.

    Great move Rockstar, great bloody move. You don't win a cookie, you don't win a backhand, you win a trip to the nearest dump to be piled in junk.

    "Their games are amazing. Trust me, I’ll be the first person in line to play Grand Theft Auto 4… in five years when it comes out." Lmao, pwned.

    Anyway, that is a bunch of shit. >.< Rockstar should be ashamed of theirselves.

    And yes, I do agree that Marge Simpson is a parody of Jack Thompson...
