Yeahhhhh, I think Take-Two’s got this one. You really can’t sue someone for using an historical organization, in its historical context, in a piece of media... Even if you are the aforementioned organization. History is history. This sounds like a “Worth a shot” money-grab, and Securitas have gravely miscalculated the…

Not to mention in MODERN US history...

I was going to say “BASICALLY”?
They were literal strikebreakers and antiunion Wild West Blackwater.

The GTA games never use any real police department names though. They’re all fictional agencies in fictional cities.

The Pinkertons were horrible shits who murdered trade unionists.

I know just who Take-Two needs:

Rockstar will make this go away by guaranteeing that they will hire Pinkertons to massacre their workers when the unionization drive starts.

Isn’t something that happened a certain amount of years ago considered fair use or something like that?

This is not going to go well for Securitas.  At best, it’s only going to create a Streisand Effect for the game (which sounds improbable, but not impossible).  At worst, the judge will throw the suit out, Securitas will take a hit financially because they picked an incredibly stupid hill to die on, AND there will be a…

American police departments would have a better chance at suing Rockstar for being depicted in GTA than the Pinkertons have against Red Dead Redemption. If they win any money over this I’m suing them for what they did to Arthur and John!

Like, it’s pretty well known that the Pinkerton’s were corrupt assholes who were basically hired thugs for wealthy businessmen to intimidate workers and prevent from unionizing.

If there’s anything I learned from Naruto, the questions would look like this:

This is the ninja certification test that I can never pass:

You enter the temple on a mission from your Shogun to assassinate the head priest, who has been rallying supporters for an enemy clan. This priest is seemingly in deep meditation, but has a reputation for being a master of the third eye. Which side do you attack from?

Hi. Erich here. Long time fan of ninjas. Can someone please get some of the questions for this test? Truly interesting stuff.

They’d get owned, since they don’t have access to a mouse and keyboard. This guy switched to M&K, and since he was already fantastic at the game, he only got better thanks to the better input controls.

Well Blizzard let’s start allowing PC and consoles play together. (muhahahahaha)

What’s there right now can keep you quite entertained. There’s a race mode, a single player swarm type mode, and then the current version of the mmo style universe that has missions to test out. There are also organizations to join if you are looking for folks to play with. Some get.. REALLY serious. ;) They have…

Ive been watching youtube videos of this game for the past 2 weeks. And am seriously contemplating buying a PC Rig to pick this game up. Ive seen several updates on the game and how far its come and how much more it needs and it makes me reconsider. Also, I dont have a crew to run with (none of my friends would play…

They could, but they want to pursue a “unified model” approach, where the game doesn’t “cheat” by using a bunch of insanely distorted models for the first person view. They want to be able to make an animation, and have it work for everything.
