Oh shit.
For those of you that don’t know: today, BBC Two launched the broadcast of The Gamechangers, a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe and and Bill Paxton that takes a look at the controversy surrounding Grand Theft Auto and violent video games in the early 2000’s. Sounds like a cool concept, no? Except Rockstar isn’t really on board with it—in fact, they’re suing BBC over the movie, and have gone on record saying that they had nothing to do with its creation.
Which leads us to this tweet. Basil Brush is a character from British children’s television, in case you didn’t know. It’s basically Rockstar going “u wot m8?”
The responses to this Tweet are pretty amusing, too:

EDIT: As commenter Dan Entwistle helpfully points out, it’s probably quite a few things, judging from the Tweets of former DMA Design Ltd folk (that’s what Rockstar used to be called):
