'Grand Theft Auto is a videogame franchise built around criminal activity': Miami-Dade County Sheriff comes out hard against a proposed GTA 6 collab with Rockstar It actually sounds like a really good idea, but of course the cops are against it. Officials with Miami-Dade County have held talks with Rockstar about using facilities and landmarks in the county to promote the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, according to a recent report by The Miamian, saying it could represent "a unique opportunity to generate revenue for the County while showcasing Miami-Dade to a massive audience." Just one problem: the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office is dead-set against it. The Miamian report (via RPS) says the county submitted a pitch deck to Rockstar on June 29, after which staff had "some conversations with Rockstar about potential opportunities around the launch of GTA 6," said Carlos Suarez, a spokesperson for Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. Some examples: - A display aircraft wrapped in Vice City logos and a GTA 6-inspired baggage claim at Miami International Airport - Vice City signage and colors at the Metromover and Metrorail transit stations - Vice City-inspired installations or public art at PortMiami - A "family appropriate" celebration of "Miami car culture" with cars, bikes, DJs, food, artists, and branded installations at Tropical Park - A Vice City Radio Lab at the city's main library, providing access to recording, editing, and digital media equipment to support "music production, podcasting, oral histories, neighborhood storytelling, sound engineering, video-game development, and other creative programming, while reflecting the central role that music and radio play in the GTA experience The pitch also includes ideas for Rockstar funding permanent upgrades to county infrastructure: That all sounds pretty cool to me, and some of it is quite civically wholesome, too.
