Is GTA VI Good or Bad for Miami Beach? The City Commission Is Tearing Itself Apart
Grand Theft Auto VI—you may have heard of it—is set in a fictionalized version of Miami Beach, and with the game’s release fast approaching, developer Rockstar Games reached out to the real City of Miami Beach to propose a marketing partnership. As Kotaku notes, the idea of empowering the City Manager to negotiate such a partnership was debated at a City Commission meeting on Thursday, and things got weird. The first speaker, Commissioner David Suarez, came out guns blazing, although that particular metaphor would doubtless appall him, because he describes Grand Theft Auto as tantamount to incitement to do crimes.
