Speaking Hypothetically, GTA Trilogy Dev Says "It's A D**k Move" To Remove Crediting
Not everyone is happy about a recent update for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition. The CEO and co-founder for the developer behind the remake compilation seems particularly frustrated by the removal of his team's logo--Grove Street Games--from the game's splash screen. In fact, speaking in hypotheticals, Thomas Williamson said, "It's a dick move... "
Spotted by VGC, Williamson also insinuated on X that Grove Street Games provided the fixes to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy's long-overdue console patch a while ago. "Speaking entire[ly] hypothetically: It's a dick move to remove primary developers from credits in an update, especially when an update includes hundreds of fixes that were provided by those developers that stayed out of players' hands for years," wrote Williamson.
