A free copy of GTA 6 could be yours, Norwegian retailer says, all you have to do is have a baby on release day and pray Rockstar doesn't delay it further

It's no "name your baby Turok" or "let us advertise Shadow Man 2 on your gravestone," though, is it?

A Norwegian store is offering a free copy of GTA 6 to anyone who has a baby on the day it releases.

Dumb marketing stunts are nothing new. The golden era of this was when Acclaim was around, with stunts like 'call your baby Turok,' 'we'll cover the cost of any speeding ticket you get when Burnout 2 releases,' and, of course, 'let us advertise Shadow Man 2 on your gravestone.' However, since they went bankrupt, it's gotten a little rarer, with only the occasional "name your baby Dovahkiin for free Bethesda games."

Also – not that I imagine anyone is seriously considering bringing life into this world for a copy of GTA – raising a baby is going to cost you a hell of a lot more than the amount of Krone GTA 6 will cost when it launches. And of course, you almost certainly aren't going to have enough time to play GTA 6 while raising a newborn. So, just in case you considered trying this out, I'd not recommend it.
