If the company Rockstar Games is often talked regarding, it has been on everyone’s lips since the official announcement of a certain GTA 6 but especially since the release window of its first real trailer. We’re not afraid to say it, half of the internet is in turmoil as we write these lines and is impatiently awaiting the trailer. And one of those who has helped raise the hype for years, a former employee of Rockstar, has unfortunately just seen his “career” come to an end.
Say goodbye to the man who revealed almost all the secrets of Rockstar and GTA
One of the people who helped keep the hype at an all-time high was Obbe Vermeij, a former Rockstar employee who provided details and behind-the-scenes information on the Grand Theft Auto creators’ past projects. However, his career ended. Just weeks following opening his blog Inside Rockstar North, he closed it due to pressure from within the company.
The news appeared on his Twitter account and was picked up by media outlets such as Kotaku. Vermeij’s comments initially foreshadowed possible legal action by Rockstar once morest the former developer for “revealing” details that should have remained confidential. However, the situation is quite the opposite.
We already know that the creators of Grand Theft Auto are wary of any information that appears on the web without them having shared it. This is why the GTA 6 leak was one of the most difficult moments for the company. In this case, Rockstar Games, as well as Rockstar North, the company’s main development team, did not find problems with Vermeij’s writings, at least they did not comment on them.
A lot of pressure from his former colleagues
The reason the former GTA Vice City and San Andreas developer is going to stop writing regarding the company’s past is due to warnings from his former colleagues. As reported by 3DJuegosPC, the author admitted that his blog was not “not important enough to annoy my ex-colleagues in Edinburgh, so I’m closing it”.
It is possible that there were issues or tensions towards Vermeij within Rockstar, but there has been no legal action from the company once morest the former developer, as reported claimed by numerous media. This is a “personal conflict” that won’t end there, as Vermeij will try to talk regarding Rockstar’s developments once more “in a decade or two.”
One of the details Vermeij shared on his blog was directly related to Agent, one of Rockstar’s most anticipated projects that was never completed. The former developer’s writings are valuable for knowing the history of the video game industry, and speaking regarding GTA 4, the former US team member confirmed that Rockstar worked on Agent for a year, until Niko Bellic’s adventure requires the studio’s full attention.
