It’s long been a subject of fan speculation as to how much Rockstar Games changed Grand Theft Auto III in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. In the decade-plus since GTA III came out, rumours have abounded: cut sequences where planes hit buildings, a supposedly removed pair of Twin Towers-style skyscrapers and the erasure of children and school buses.
You might be celebrating GTA III‘s 10th Anniversary by playing it on your iOS or Android device, with that version freshly out today. Rockstar’s celebrating in a different way, though. On their official site, the developer’s revealing all kinds of trivia and minutiae about the open-world crime game that put them on the map.
