Did anyone watch The Gamechangers (movie about GTA and Rockstar starring Daniel Radcliffe)?

[AuthenticM]

I just got a flash about watching the trailer for this movie maybe three years ago. I had completely forgotten about it. It's a BBC movie starring Daniel Radcliffe as Sam Houser and Bill Paxton as Jack Thompson.

Has anyone here seen it? Is it good? Worth my time?

It was a bit overdramatic and rubbish from what I remember. You'd be better off reading the book it was partially based on:

Loads of the people it's based on came out and said a lot of it is shite (like with most 'based on' stuff). Apparently it has a scene like "We need to make a new engine" ~next scene~ "OK done", which is just laughable.

Yeah it was pretty terrible. Cool thing though, I had it on while my Uncle who used to work for Rockstar was over. So he was loving how inaccurate it was.

Is it about that guy Jack Thompson that always complained about GTA man he was hilarious

Rockstar themselves were big fans...

I think the developers breaking dancing in the Office was my favourite bit - and the reaction it got from actual Devs on Twitter
