Fans Can Provide Talk Radio for GTA IV

Rockstar is offering Grand Theft Auto fans a chance to make their own little impression on the next version of the game –  if they act quickly. A Web site has recently gone up that gives fans a call-in number to have their voice recorded for one of GTA’s fictional radio stations, WKTT.

Fans of the previous GTA games will recall that Rockstar’s spoofs of conservative talk radio often featured less-than-sane callers who called in and ranted about conspiracies, liberals and the state of America. That’s exactly what Rockstar is looking to fans to provide this time around. According to the WKTT site, callers should discuss what’s wrong with their health, what’s wrong with the world, what’s wrong with America, or what’s wrong with them.

Rockstar hasn’t announced when the contest will end or even linked to it from their GTA IV page, suggesting it may be a very limited opportunity. Although the nature of the call-in makes it fairly obvious what the recordings will be used for, interested callers should probably look over Rockstar’s disclaimer before pressing 1 to accept it and ranting away, since it gives Rockstar the full right to use and commercially exploit the recordings.

For much of the past decade, Xbox had one big idea: be the Netflix of gaming. Under Phil Spencer, Microsoft invested tens of billions of dollars into Game Pass, bought some of the industry's biggest publishers, and pushed the idea that subscriptions, not consoles, would define gaming's future. According to a new report from Bloomberg, that vision is now being rethought.

Microsoft spent years positioning Xbox Game Pass as the future of gaming. But according to a new report from Bloomberg, the service has fallen well short of the ambitious goals Xbox originally set for it. The report claims Xbox executives targeted 77 million Game Pass subscribers by the end of fiscal 2026. Instead, the service reportedly sits at around 30 million subscribers today, which is less than half of what Microsoft had hoped to achieve.
