The best game I’ve played in years, on a tie with HL2.

They’re going to be so mad when they find out about Rare’s logo.

What on earth is going on with the image you used for this? Did you just type “grand theft auto” into Midjourney and accept the first piece of visual vomit it spewed out?

Considering what they did with the “remastered”, it being a screenshot also wouldn’t surprise me.

So apparently it’s a better use of everyone’s time for Grant to not include images of the two logos, and instead make each individual reader look them up?

Interestingly, Remedy had to stop using its original logo in the '90s because it was too similar to LucasArts’ logo.

That and Lucas Arts seem a whole lot closer than the current to Rockstar.

I agree with this statement on so many levels.

What’s so similar? They’d pretty much have to claim a trademark on the letter “R”, wouldn’t they?

If you haven’t had a look at Alan Wake 2 yet, I’d recommend it. While it’s still an Alan Wake story, the FBC plays a big role in it. And Ahti is a major supporting character!

So, no dispute after all. However, Rockstar should still be embarrassed their logo sucks.

Was waiting for this comment.

When they make the tell-all movie about this incident, I can only hope it is rated R.
