Sam Houser Talks Rockstar Hate
10:40PM Brian Ashcraft | Rockstar Games gets lots of hate. And that’s a shame, because Rockstar makes good games, which make lots of money. So we guess that balances it, so whatever. Here’s company co-founder/president Sam Houser on that: Most of the people who hate us are people it is truly an honour to be hated by — reactionary creeps with strange agendas — and the Daily Mail. Most people who know about modern pop culture know about GTA and like or dislike it on its own merits… I think we [Sam and his brother and co-founder Dan] are both depressed at how boring we really are and how unexciting even the worse fabrications and exaggerations are when you read about them. None of it seems very rock and roll, so we find it a little sad, when there are probably better stories that could be written about both us and the industry/medium. No sharks, groupies or pounds of coke or anything fun at all. We read like angry dorks, which might be true, but is certainly not very exciting. So all you haters, just think of Rockstar as angry dorks. That, and take deep breaths. Grand Theft Auteur – Part 1 [Develop Mag via CVG] More »

Arise, Sirs Dan And Sam Houser?
4:00PM Luke Plunkett | As savvy a piss-take on modern America as the Grand Theft Auto series has become, it’s always worth remembering that it’s not an American series. It’s a British one. Rockstar are a British company (as were DMA), their founders, British. And with the GTA series nestled securely atop the gaming world in terms of both critical acclaim and popularity, Develop are wondering…when can we expect the series to start getting some serious recognition? Sure, they may have their tongue resting gently inside their cheeks when pondering how long til we see “the inevitable coming of Sir Sam Houser, or Dan Houser OBE”, but the point itself is still valid! France are down with bestowing major recognition upon noted game developers, you can’t help but wonder when places like Britain (and the US) will start doing likewise.
