Los usuarios de Grand Theft Auto V, el videojuego del mundo criminal, no han tardado en reaccionar ante la noticia de los Samsung Galaxy Note 7 defectuosos, y ya hanSamsung has been embroiled in its scandal of Galaxy Note 7 smartphones blowing up, and now the story gets worse with the South Korean giant getting pissed after someone used a Note 7 in a mod for Grand Theft Auto V, which doubled Samsung's troubled smartphone as a bomb. The video has been taken down from YouTube, with Samsung Electronics America, Inc. slapping it with a copyright claim - with Kotaku adding in the perfect comment: "Perhaps Samsung was trying to file more claims, but the device they were using exploded before they could complete the process"... oh channel Modded Games is behind the video, with user 'sdaddy345' saying: "Pretty bummed out that Samsung copyright take downed a video that I made 100%... No logo, image or even the word 'Samsung' was uttered/shown in the video. It was pretty much the same thing as this video, which is just a gta 5 player throwing the phone at cars and blowing them up".Well, sorry sdaddy345 - but even the screenshot from the video shows that the phone being used as a bomb says "Samsung" at the top of it. Samsung filed a DMCA complaint to have footage taken down from YouTube because the mod turned the phone into a grenade Właśnie tego obawiał się Samsung – wybuchający Galaxy Note 7 stał się anty-bohaterem moda do Grand Theft Auto V. Bombowe wrażenia gwarantowane. Gdy okazało się, że bardzo dobrze przyjęte przez klientów smartfony Galaxy Note 7 wybuchają z powodu wadliwych akumulatorów, reakcja koreańskiego producenta byłą błyskawiczna – najpierw zarządzono wstrzymanie sprzedaży telefonu, a potem ogłoszono wielką akcję wymiany wydanych właścicielom okazała się być ogromnym ciosem finansowym dla giganta – według szacunków, zastąpienie 2,5 mln sprzedanych modeli Galaxy Note 7 może kosztować Samsunga nawet miliard dolarów. I nie jest to najgorsze, co mogło spotkać bardziej dotkliwe może być kojarzenie marki nie z wydajnymi, dobrze wykonanymi smartfonami (jak miało to miejsce do tej pory), lecz z niebezpiecznymi dla zdrowia (a może i życia) sprzętami wypełnionymi ogniem i wynika z nieoficjalnych informacji, to właśnie obawa przez powstaniem memów stawiających znak równości między Samsungiem i wybuchami stał się głównym powodem dla dobrowolnego rozpoczęcia akcji wymiany jednak na to, że internet – i twórcy modów do popularnych gier – tak łatwo Samsungowi nie wybaczą. Właściciele GTA V mogą siać w grze zniszczenie i pożogę, jako broki używając właśnie spektakularnie niebezpiecznych koreańskich prawdziwym życiu pojawiła się informacja o podejrzeniu spalenia przez Galaxy Note 7 samochodu marki Jeep – w grze bombowy potencjał telefonu jest wykorzystywany w znacznie większym stopniu. Dla twórców moda była to zapewne zabawa (o ile nie zostali zainspirowani przez konkurencję koreańskiego producenta), dla Samsunga to kolejny marketingowy koszmar w ostatnim deklaracji o wymienieniu już 60% smartfonów Galaxy Note 7 w Europie (z czego podobno tylko niewielka część była tak naprawdę zagrożeniem dla użytkowników), więcej mówiło się o tym, że Koreańczykom udało się wyprodukować wybuchające pralki (które nie trafiły jednak na polski rynek).A Wy do czego używalibyście bombowych Galaxy Note 7?

Samsung issues a DMCA takedown against the original video showcasing the Grand Theft Auto 5 mod that converts C4 explosives into a Galaxy Note 7 phone. Grand Theft Auto V is home to a wide variety of notorious mods that suit the parodical humor found in the game series. However, one recent mod has apparently irked Samsung, who has now decided to call for the removal of a YouTube video featuring the mod. The mod in question is the model swap that changes sticky bombs into a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. While the mod is just a bit of harmless fun that fits in pretty well with the sardonic humor of the Grand Theft Auto series, apparently Samsung isn't laughing. The original video highlighting the mod has now been taken down via a DMCA complaint issued by Samsung itself. However, if Samsung intends to completely remove evidence of the mod's existence from YouTube, its work is far from done, as many other videos have since popped up with gameplay featuring the mod. The mod, of course, stems from the recent controversy surrounding Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 phone. The phone was recalled and has now been completely discontinued due to the explosive nature of the phone's battery. Following the phone's recall, the Oculus pulled support for the Galaxy Note 7. While some people have been hurt by these phones catching fire, the GTA modder clearly took some creative inspiration by it, turning it into a quick sticky bomb mod for the game. It remains to be seen if the creator of the video will try to fight against the DMCA claim. Since they didn't lift the model from any official Samsung property, the video should be allowed to be on YouTube. However, DMCA claims are notoriously difficult to fight against, and the creator may simply decide it's not worth their time. In any case, Samsung's DMCA claim may mean that it will make an effort to take down the mod itself, so gamers who are interested in trying it out should consider downloading it soon. Samsung is struggling with plunging shares and serious harm to its reputation among consumers, but it doesn't seem like taking down a simple YouTube video making fun of the problem is the way to correct it. Anyone who has seen the news, boarded a plane, or has paid attention to social media at all surely knows about the phone's explosive nature, so a joke video created to showcase a mod doesn't seem to add a whole lot to the controversy. Among gamers - particularly Grand Theft Auto fans - this knee-jerk reaction from Samsung could actually potentially harm its reputation further. Grand Theft Auto V is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Source: The Verge In one recent clip uploaded to YouTube, the Galaxy Note 7's explosive tendencies are put to good use with a Grand Theft Auto V mod, where the device doubles up as a sticky bomb. The clip begins with a visit to the weapons store, where all manner of armory is available to purchase. Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 has been the butt of its fair share of internet jokes since it started exploding in September, but it's hard to surpass what one Grand Theft Auto V modder did when he turned the phone into an in-game grenade. Apparently, Samsung doesn't think it's very funny, though -- the company appears to have filed a totally bogus copyright infringement claim on the YouTube video showing this you try to watch the video now, you'll see that Samsung has blocked it by using YouTube's tools for reporting infringing material. Of course, this isn't how those tools were meant to be used -- they're for reporting instances in which video or audio is posted in violation of copyright. Using the Note 7's likeness in a video made from a video game mod doesn't really seem like what YouTube's tools are meant to be used for. Fortunately, that was far from the only YouTube video that shows off the Galaxy Note 7 being used as an incendiary device. Now that the cat's out of the bag, it's probably not worth the effort for Samsung to chase down these videos -- the company has a lot more serious things to be worrying about right now. Update 10/23: The creator of the video successfully won a challenge against Samsung's claim, which lacked "one or more legally-required elements." You can watch as much as you like, at least for now. Not that a takedown would have helped Samsung much as it is. In a true demonstration of the Streisand Effect, others uploaded the video and helped draw more attention to the Note 7 mod than it would otherwise get.
