Another lawsuit awaits Rockstar Games. Following the release of the GTA 6 trailer, the hype has never been more real. However, the trailer has also attracted unwanted attention. In a second instance, a person has claimed Rockstar Games used his likeness in the game. 

From the detailed NPCs to social media parodies, the GTA 6 trailer showed how the devs were taking a step towards adding more realistic features to the game. However, that very aspect seems to have backfired. In a second possible lawsuit, a person has come forward seeking compensation from the devs.

Revisiting the case of The Florida Joker 

A popular social media creator known as The Florida Joker had sought 2 million dollars as compensation from the GTA 6 devs. The latter took the internet by storm when he claimed Rockstar had allegedly used his personality in the game. Moreover, in a follow-up post to the claim, The Florida Joker has threatened to sue the developers if they don’t adhere to the compensation under a 3-day deadline. 

I’m giving you the biggest free marketing, for that I want extra $1M. You got 3 days before my lawyers go crazy. I got hard evidence,” the Joker said in a TikTok video. Further, the creator mentioned the fact that this claim won’t go down as the Lindsay Lohan case from GTA V!
