Rockstar Wasn T Impressed By The Bbc S Grand Theft Auto Film

Last night’s BBC drama The Gamechangers, which is billed as a “factual drama starring Daniel Radcliffe and Bill Paxton, telling the story of the battle behind the hit video game Grand Theft Auto”, hasn’t been received too well by GTA creators Rockstar Games.

Tweeting from the official Rockstar Games account during the broadcast, two posts made it quite clear what the firm behind the blockbuster franchise thought.

@BBC This new Rentaghost isn’t as good as I remember

This was followed up with:

@BBC Was Basil Brush busy? What exactly is this random, made up bollocks?

The BBC did not respond to Rockstar’s Tweets.

You can watch The Gamechangers now on BBC iPlayer.
