 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A one-off docudrama produced by the BBC, The Gamechangers dramatises events surrounding the production of the Grand Theft Auto games and Rockstar Games's struggles with conservative moral crusader and now disbarred lawyer Jack Thompson, who doggedly tried to take down Rockstar after catching word about copycat killings allegedly inspired by the games and a once-dormant Hot Coffee Minigame.The telefilm stars Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame as Sam Houser and the late Bill Paxton as Jack Thompson, and is based primarily on the non-fiction book Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto by David Kushner.Definitely not to be confused with the Heroic Bloodshed movie The Game Changer or the Netflix vegan documentary of the same name.

 Anachronism Stew: The map of Liberty City at Rockstar's offices was a crude rendition of the one found in Grand Theft Auto IV which was released in 2008; the events of the film and its real-world counterpart took place around 2002-2005. When Thompson tried out Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for himself to gauge the level of obscenity the game has, he was seen playing the game on a PS2 Slim. That part of the film takes place in 2002; the slimline revision wouldn't be released until 2004, just in time for San Andreas whom Thompson would set his sights on by the latter half of the film. Sam Houser and Jack Thompson's computers are shown running Microsoft Office 2007. DVDs for Yogi Bear and The Spy Next Door are shown in a scene that takes place in 2004. Both films released in 2010.

 Artistic License: The film shows scenes where Rockstar programmers are doing major work on the games in New York City; principal work on the GTA series actually takes place in Rockstar North's offices in Edinburgh, Scotland.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
