Miami Beach Backs GTA VI Deal | Miami News

Miami Beach just voted to partner with Grand Theft Auto VI creators — yes, the violent game — bringing in up to $4 million through beach umbrellas and chairs branded with its logo.

Opponents like Commissioner David Suarez likened it to “Black Mirror,” warning that linking city beaches to drug deals and murder undermines Miami’s crime-fighting image. Supporters like Monica Matteo-Salinas argued it’s just marketing — no endorsement of violence — and a win for gamers. The deal’s approval highlights the city’s struggle between profit and public perception. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
