I hope their future games will be OK regarding the tech.

 

That leaked mail suggests that he was a key person at Rockstargames indeed...

Holy sh*t that looks good lol

 

Would love to see such a set piece in The next RDR. Without that grimey Ghostface of course.

So does this explain why so many sh*tty decisons were made in GTA Online/GTA V's multiplayer then?

 

At any rate, the company deserves to crumble and burn in my opinion.

All this bullsh*t because of who was mentioned last in the opening credits?
For real R*:

 

n late 2013, Mr. The Benz had placed his name last in GTA Online’s

opening credits. In previous GTA installments, Sam Houser’s name was last. In gaming,the last position denotes the person deemed the most significant contributor to theparticular game. Sam Houser had actually placed his name last by fiat, not by actualachievement in game development. As to GTA Online, the first not to list Sam Houser last,he claimed to have noticed it only after it had already been released. If true, this wouldmean that he had not played or even viewed the game pre-release – or else he would have

So this is how it happened, this is how Rockstar died.

 

Seriously though shame on the Housers, didn't expect this. Now I'm even more sceptical for future Rockstar games, I think their good times might be over.

Well, the stories were true after all:

 

Take-Two and Rockstar threatened to

This was ashocking development given that Sam Houser himself had orchestrated and encouraged acompany culture involving strip clubs, personal photography of employees in sexuallycompromising positions, and other conduct grossly in violation of standard workplacenorms.

This basically explains why R* games take so long to make. They turn up an unplayable mess until The Benz cleans it up

 

The new red dead might suck :(

 

End of an era.

Sounds like all the games are going to suck from now on. I always thought the the Houser Bros had something to do with the games being good, but it seems like "The Benz" was the driving force the whole time.

 

I can't see any other way to look at this. Their games aren't going to be the same ever again. It's literally downhill from here. GTA V will be the last decent game they put out.

It might be an overstretch, but I might say that Leslie being out could very well be one of the reasons Rockstar isn't able to get another project on the line all this damn time. They could be in some kind of mess, mismanagement, confusion and blabbering from the Housers.

f*ck R*, Leslie seems highly motivated in his sue, he WANTED to work all the time, I assume he wants to get his share to create his own company and release his own game.

 

Now imagine a GTA or even something else solely UNDER The Benz lead, today R* died, but tomorrow Leslie will rise...I hope.

Read this:

 

For example, while Mr. The Benz had a Bugstar access account in support of his design and development work, Sam Houser had no account. During one period, Mr. The Benz alone added and/or detected 15,000 GTA 4 development tasks using Bugstar, while the whole of the New York Rockstar office (where the Housers and several other executives were located) detected 1,000 in total.

It looks like that Leslie was the true visionary and leader of Rockstar and not as we were misled by the Housers media!

Just for a bit of perspective, because what I'm seeing is a lot of hate for the Housers and unquestionable devotion to The Benz, but there is a chance that LB may well have had one line too many, lost his mind, and made up a bunch of sh*t.

 

Or it could be really exactly as he says. Either way, I look forward to him starting a new company and making some great games, if he hasn't completely lost the ability to think straight.
