Florida Joker is in the news again, this time demanding to speak with Rockstar Games, or to be given $1-2 million over his likeness in GTA 6.

    Why does it have to be a parody only of games? Parody in general is protected, as the games show.

    Uhh… because that’s what we were talking about here….?

    Where does it say it’s a parody of GTA…?

    And that proves nothing but another person has your opinion, the only way to prove it would be a source from the developer, but that won’t exist since if they say it, they would be cease and desisted.

      It was a parody of GTA when it was announced and shown, as everyone said when we saw it.

      We were talking about parody, but okay. They were all games parodying people and other things but apparently isn’t good enough for you.

        No it was never announced as a parody of gta or they would have been cease and desisted.

        Just because a game is in the same genre doesn’t suddenly make it a parody.

        You responded to my comment about specific game parodies, I’m sorry you can’t converse properly.

          That’s apt since you said this:

          Can you provide a single one?

          And now I see you’re the same person who deliberately ignores what a rule says explicitly. Well done.

          I gave you plenty of clear parodies or other things too, one which has the name + Horse in the title but that’s not good enough for you either. Okay.
