Miami-Dade Officials Split on Proposed Grand Theft Auto VI Marketing Partnership

Miami-Dade County's mayor has proposed a promotional event with Rockstar Games that would transform parts of the county into real-world versions of Grand Theft Auto VI's fictional Vice City, including branded airport signage and custom-painted aircraft. The plan has drawn public opposition from both the county sheriff and at least one commissioner, who argue it would glorify criminal activity. Reports differ on whether the police department or the sheriff's office is leading the criticism, and on whether the mayor is actively lobbying Rockstar or has merely floated the concept. No agreement between the county and Rockstar has been confirmed.
