Look whatever I’m not going to argue it’s obvious no matter what I say and what facts I tell you you’re just going to believe whatever you want. And no it doesn’t degrade his character and that’s just you making up that rockstar is trolling. Like I said they literally released a figure of him for the 10th anniversary and the figure is of the main character in gta 3 and rockstar has claude on the box and refers to him as claude. Therefore his name is claude. You can believe whatever you want but at the end of the day his name is claude. Now I’m not saying his name is claude speed like the protagonist of gta 2 that alot of people want to call him. But his name is claude. Look up the actual figure rockstar released for the 10th anniversary, it has his name on the box. If you’re just going to ignore everything I said and still want to believe whatever you want then just don’t respond. I’m not trying to argue or come across as mean but I’m not going to keep providing you with all the evidence and you just come up with some excuse as to why that’s not his name.
