The creative force behind the Grand Theft Auto video games, Dan Houser, will leave the Rockstar Games firm he co-founded, its parent company said. Houser produced and helped write the GTA games, one of the most lucrative video game titles ever, and made a success of the Rockstar Games studio he built with his brother. — AFP
Dan Houser has spent nearly a year on what his company, Rockstar Games, describes as an “extended break”. It’s apparently the longest period Houser has been away since starting the video game label with his brother in 1998 and co-creating two of the industry’s most valuable – and controversial – franchises, Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.
Some of his colleagues at Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive Software Inc have kept up with his family’s adventures through updates to his wife’s Instagram: a visit to the Roman Colosseum at dawn, green drinks on the beach in Turks & Caicos and a horse-drawn carriage ride through the snow-thick landscape of Deer Valley, Utah.
