GTA V News Update: Lawsuit Sees Former 'Mob Wives' Star Karen Gravano Accuse Rockstar Games of Copying Her Life Story; Seeks $40M

Grand Theft Auto V's creators are having a suit taken out against them because a "mobsters daughter" is claiming the game's story line copies her real life.

Karen Gravano, who's father helped bring down John Gotti, is claiming the character of Antonia Bottino is based on her life, and she wants $40 million because Rockstar Games did not ask her permission, reported Kotaku.

Gravano is also known for her three seasons on "Mob Wives." "Sammy the Bull" Gravano, her father cooperated with prosecutors to help take down Gambino crime family boss, Gotti.

Her claim is that within the game, Bottino's father, just so happens to be named Sammy Bottino and he works for the Gambetti crime family, which is very similar to their real life counterparts. His boss is Jon Graveli, and Bottino gets set up for murder. Bottino then moves his family out west and is in the witness protection program, just like Sammy Bull was. Bottino then returns as a government informant.

GTA V was previously taken to court by Lindsay Lohan, who claimed the woman on the cover was taken from her likeness, to which Rockstar Games has consistently denied.

As far as game news, GTA 5's alleged PC release date has been rumored to be leaked by Czech retailer SuperGamer.cz as arriving on June 13.

However, according to some sources the information is a bit suspicious because the platform listed for the game is for "Windows Live," which is not a system currently available.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick also responded to talk on whether the game will head to other gaming platforms, most notably the PC, where rumors have been floating everywhere.

"If that is where consumers are, absolutely [we'll release our game on that]. But we wouldn't drive them there, we would just be there if they are there. That is why we have a companion app for our basketball title, NBA 2K Everywhere. It is wherever consumers want to be," he told MCV.

So as gamers have been accustomed to, the developers behind the wildly successful game have remained silent on the PC front.

"It is great that consumers anticipate our titles, like they anticipate the next James Bond film. Our goal is to create permanent franchises," Zelnick said to MCV UK..

"A few years ago, we'd launch a title, it would be sold physically, then we would sell catalogue versions of it. Today we launch a title, and often - if not always - put out DLC. We've talked about recurrent consumer spending, where we have offerings where fans can engage and spend money on an on-going basis."
GTA 5 was released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 17 2013, and sold over a million copies in two days.
