    Pretty sure rockstar had nothing to do with the first GTA game. It was developed by DMA (which did later become rockstar north but at the time was not) and was published by BMG.

        Yeah I believe Remedy did those first two games, but apparently whom ever made this graphic thinks you can retroactively claim releases after buying an IP.

        A subpar energy drink.

        The things recruiters call you when they don’t want to pay you

        A company that hasn’t released a game in a long ass time. (Valve, The company people keep claiming doesn’t release games has released several titles in the time span between 5 and whenever 6 comes out).

        Just because a company / team was absorbed into a larger one and given a name doesn’t mean they can retroactively claim releases under that name…

        Take Two Interactive bought DMA and the GTA IP and then gave them the name Rockstar north, at no point did the name Rockstar appear on anything to do with the initial release of GTA.
