Rockstar is no stranger to frivolous lawsuits. Celebrities have over the years come out of the woodwork to sue the video game maker for its characters, which in some cases are parodies of real life celebrities. Who can forget the time Lindsey Lohan sued Rockstar for allegedly using her likeness in Grand Theft Auto 5? (That suit was dismissed by a judge, by the way.)
Well, it's happening again. But this time it's over a character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which came out 15 years ago.

Every bug is labelled either "fixed", "working on it" or "workaround below" and is divided by platform.
For example, the "Arno can fall through ground" bug has been fixed on PS4 and PC (and doesn't seem to be an issue on Xbox One).

Warner Bros. has apologised for the way it handled the controversial Shadow of War Forthog Orc-Slayer DLC and offered refunds to those who bought it.
Monolith executive producer Michael Forgey, who died from a brain tumour last year aged just 43-years-old, was set to appear in Shadow of War as a DLC character Forthog Orc-Slayer.
Warner Bros. sold Forthog for £3.99 on Steam and Xbox One, and said it would donate a portion of every purchase to Forgey's widow and children.

Remember that brief Serious Sam teaser that had fans thinking a new instalment - or, in the very least, new DLC - might be on the way? Turns out they were right, and a new Serious Sam is set to release later this month.
Croteam dropped a cryptic video tease just before Christmas, but at just 34 seconds long and the description "man, it's cold", we didn't have a lot to go on.
