Around the end of March, YouTube user JoeDesigns together with his friends created a Twitch channel called "GTAVI", there was a countdown to the announcement of the game, there was even a demonstration of a teaser trailer for the game. According to the owner of the channel, all this was done for the sake of an April fool's joke. In this video, JoeDesigns explains in detail the steps for creating this project.
The joke still turned out to be successful, so to speak, viral. During this short time, while the broadcast lasted, the channel gathered more than 2000 thousand subscribers and more than 100 thousand views on its page. However, at some point, the official Twitch account of Rockstar appeared on the stream, and the team of jokers had no choice but to stop the broadcast.
