Samsung has ordered a takedown of a YouTube video of a mod for 'Grand Theft Auto V' that turned the Galaxy Note 7 into a bomb. But doesn't Samsung have better things to do?
Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 debacle has been a highly publicized one, as exploding batteries and smartphones catching fire eventually led to the end of the device's short life.A Grand Theft Auto V modder saw the opportunity to make light of the fiasco, creating a mod that added the Galaxy Note 7 into the game as a bomb. The smartphone replaced the sticky explosives, and it can be thrown and later detonated to cause chaos in the game.Created by HitmanNiko, the GTA V mod is the perfect parody of the unfortunately explosive situation that Samsung had to deal with. However, it seems that Samsung did not find the mod entertaining at all, as the company requested the takedown of one of the most popular YouTube videos featuring the Note 7 bomb.
EVGATech_MDeckerthis is pretty funny but I can see how Samsung would be upset enough to have this taken down.
bobmitchEVGATech_MDeckerthis is pretty funny but I can see how Samsung would be upset enough to have this taken down.I was on an airline flight a few weeks back where they demanded that anyone with the phone please shut it down and not power it up at all during the flight. Samsung may be upset, but they should know better than to release such a faulty product. Shame on them.
