Sam Houser, el hombre invisible detrás del imperio de ‘Grand Theft Auto’

Sam Houser, the co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, is cited by El Pais Economia as the person responsible for the business and creative direction of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. The company developed one of the most profitable video game series in history, including a project with a budget of approximately 1.5 billion dollars that took over a decade to develop.

According to The National Business, the release of GTA III in 2001 helped redefine open-world gaming by allowing players to explore cities, steal vehicles, and complete criminal missions. This success led to the emergence of the "GTA clone" genre, which includes various gangster adventures and urban settings. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19 for PlayStation and Xbox.
