Court Throws Out Lindsay Lohan's Grand Theft Auto V Lawsuit

In 2014, actress Lindsay Lohan filed suit against GTA publisher Take-Two for what she believed was an unauthorized depiction of her image in Grand Theft Auto V. She claimed she was even used in the game’s promotional materials. Today, however, the court tossed her suit.

O.O

I didn't even know that a suit like this existed against TakeTwo.

It's so stupid......

Majin-vegeta2801d ago

Wait really??They were always at the top of the page when ever something about this was mentioned.

MasterCornholio2801d ago

I must have forgot about it then......

fenome2801d ago

You probably did forget about it because it was so stupid. Lol

I figured this got tossed out a long time ago, can't believe it took 2 years for that. She's just washed up and broke now and saw they made a ridiculous amount of money on the game and was probably hoping they'd settle out of court, pathetic really.

Got what she deserved, desperate for a quick pay day now that she's got no fame left. Probably end up resorting to porn.

rainslacker2800d ago

I always wondered if her depiction in the game itself was a drugged out hooker looking NPC, and she thought they were referencing her. The marketing material(the image shown in the article thumbnail) I couldn't really see how she thought it was her. Lohan hasn't looked like that in a very long time, and even then, she was never that....endowed or sexy.

Kate Upton suit incoming.

It really does look like her.

I think thats the model they based the woman on? I think they officially told this at some point, but I dont remember what picture it actually was.

That certainly matches.

I love it when people go after rockstar and get smacked down with a "stop wasting the courts time".

The model is actually Shelby Welinder.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

D was a great, atmospheric horror game. It was worth the rental back in the day. Also, Limited Run Games sucks.

darthv7220h ago

LRG are just glorified overpriced reproductions.... and now they can't even get that last part right. I make better repros using my own stack of CD-R.

mastershredder19h ago

Just don’t. 3DO games were the worst. Imagine paying premium prices for a dog-crap version of a game. The era of barely trying or understanding their own tech and charging asinine prices… 3DN0. It’s best that you don’t admit that you had one of these.

Popsicle17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

The 3DO was ahead of its time and one of the first to enter the 32 bit console space. Yes FMV games are awful, but at the time there was a real thirst for games to look like movies. Removing the FMV games the 3DO had Gex, a solid Myst port, and was often the best place to play non-SNK (best on NEO GEO) near arcade perfect arcade ports. Their downfall was poor marketing and a high price point for a time when consoles were considered to be kids toys.

It was certainly superior to the “64 bit” Jaguar, which was falsely advertised as stronger hardware and had one of the worst console controllers in history.

Limited Run Games makes me sick. The prices they ask are ridiculous and then the whole burning discs instead of pressing them is pretty disgusting. This is a company that takes their customers for a ride and demands extortion level prices for a product, like we’re talking 2x to 3x more than MSRP.
