WWE Abandoned the trademark of “Vice City” in GTA VI Launch Advance

Can you smell what Rockstar is cooking? It seems that WWE was trying to record the brand for the term “Vice City”, then abandoning the plans. According to a trademark deposit, the initial application was made on August 8, before being considered “inadmissible” just over a month later, on September 21. It does not seem that WWE was trying to create his own Grand Theft Auto, but it was probably an attempt to theme something around Lola Vice, a WWE wrestler recently promoted to the main roster. This also suggests that you come from Miami, Florida, the real location on which GTA’s Vice City is based. Although we do not know the reasons why WWE has abandoned the brand, we can assume that Rockstar Games would not welcome someone who tried to claim the property of a name used for over two decades. Vice City is, of course, the setting of the classic GTA Vice City for PS2 and the upcoming GTA 6. You can imagine Triple H and associates who knew it, but still try to play this card. The entity in which Rockstar is reminding people of this can be seen in the real Miami, with almost a million dollars spent for the signage "Welcome to Vice City". By the way, the backyard wrestling seems destined to be part of the many activities that Jason and Lucia will face in GTA 6, with even a reference to the finisher John Cena’s Attitude Adjustment identified in the recent extended look on the game. You can take a look at this and 99 details we noticed in our first look at the gameplay here. GTA 6 is ready to conquer the world when it is launched on November 19, and the world of sports and entertainment will not remain immune. So much for NBA stars Steven Adams that the launch of Rockstar's latest will lead to a "general goal in the performance" of players and basketball coaches. It has already been an intense week for the study GTA and Red Dead Redemption, as we can imagine every week will be until the release of GTA 6. The developer removed the footage of GTA 5 deleted and an early version of a map of the GTA 6 leaked and outlined its new mod policy, while the RP server dreams of GTA 6 monetized seem to have been broken. VERDETTO: MISTO Rockstar ha fatto bene a zittire WWE, la situazione era da incubo. L’idea di una wrestler promossa per sfruttare il marchio “Vice City” era un rischio enorme, soprattutto vista l'imminente uscita del gioco e l'investimento nella realtà di Miami. La decisione di ritirare il marchio è una chiara dimostrazione della loro attenzione alla protezione del proprio prodotto, anche se questa strategia sembra – forse involontariamente – esasperare la situazione e generare ulteriore attenzione attorno al titolo. L’uso di Lola Vice come esempio per la domanda di marchio era un'operazione rischiosa ed eccessivamente invasiva. È positivo che Rockstar abbia agito prontamente per evitare potenziali problemi legali, ma è anche vero che questo episodio ha contribuito a creare una narrazione più complessa attorno al lancio di GTA 6, complicando ulteriormente la già intricata situazione. La risposta di Steven Adams – un “calo generale nella performance” dei giocatori e degli allenatori di basket – è ovviamente esagerata, ma sottolinea l'impatto mediatistico che questo particolare caso sta avendo sulla comunità.
