Back in the early 2000s, Rockstar would often generate their own controversies in order to create public interest. In fact, they even went as far as to hire publicist Max Clifford to disseminate false information, inciting mainstream backlash and even getting high-profile politicians involved in the controversy.

Rockstar have been sued over their explicit content, and they've been sued for incorporating content into their games that didn't belong to them, but did you know that the company has also been sued for delaying their own games?
