Reuters has reported that Take-Two Interactive is suing the transit authority for pulling down GTA IV ads, how bizarre that GTA is not the one being sued for once.
Reuters is reporting that: "Take Two accused the authority and its sales agent, Titan Outdoor LLC, of violating a $300,000 (150,000 pounds) ad campaign agreement that included running "Grand Theft Auto 4" poster ads on the sides of buses and transit display spaces throughout the Chicago transit system scheduled for six weeks between April and June."
"The suit seeks an order for the transit authority to run the ads as well as monetary damages of at least $300,000."
"The advertisements were removed following a report by a Fox News affiliate that questioned why the ad was allowed to run after a wave of violent crimes in Chicago, the suit said."
While law suits are nothing new to the GTA franchise I'm sure the shock of being the one to do the suing was beyond confusing for the GTA legal team.
