We usually don't give too much credibility to anything we read in tabloids. And some of the press in the United Kingdom can make the U.S. tabloids look tame in comparison. However, the UK tabloid newspaper Daily Star has apologized to Rockstar Games for a story it published about a new Grand Theft Auto game in the works.
The original story, published last week, said that Rockstar was working on a game called Grand Theft Auto Rothbury, which was supposedly inspired by murderer Raoul Moat. The paper even went so far for their story as mocking up a cover for the game and talking to the grandmother of Moat's girlfriend.
