Rockstar Don't Like Parody

Controversial developer, Rockstar, have, rather surprisingly complained to EA about the "Grand Theft Scratchy" level that features in the upcoming Simpsons Game. This is surprising, as it is Rockstar themselves who have used wanton parody and satire in their Grand Theft auto series, and we would expect them to be a bit more relaxed this, but according to Greg Rizzer, game designer on The Simpsons Game:

"If we make fun of Grand Theft Auto, we're not going to hurt the sales of Grand Theft Auto... But yeah, we've definitely had some reactions - we've had to pull stuff from the game"

He's definetly right there, no one is going to hurt the sales of GTA, nothing really can to say the least.

Harmonix on the other hand, actually appreciated the parody of their award-winning Guitar Hero - called Sitar Heroe in The Simpsons Game, where they have "Apu playing this 60-button controller and songs like Pour Some Curry On Me".

Now come on Rockstar, no need for this kind of behaviour!
