Remember, in November 2023, Rockstar announced the release of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI for December 5. The announcement was published during the day of November 8. However, the surprise was unfortunately spoiled by a leak from Jason Schreier the same morning. Following this leak, Sam Houser wanted to delay the announcement of the game until the beginning of December according to a reliable person known to the Rockstar community.
As mentioned in the intro, Rockstar announced on November 8 that the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive on December 5 for Rockstar Games' 25th anniversary. Announcement spoiled by a leak. In a post on GTA Forums, Tez2a trusted community source Rockstar responded to a user who asked who has the final say on whether a video game is finished and ready for release.
The code miner stated that it was Sam Houser who has the last word since he is the co-founder of Rockstar Games. In the same post, Tez2 said that other top Rockstar officials like Aaron Garbutt (the person responsible for the development of GTA VI) Rob Nelson (co-studio head) and Jennifer Kolbe (studio director) always keep Sam Houser under control and influence decision-making. He states that Sam Houser wanted to postpone the announcement of the next title of the license to make fun of Jason Schreier but they dissuaded the co-founder from doing so, which is a shame.
Jason Schreier revealed the trailer announcement of Grand Theft Auto VI just a few hours before Rockstar Games does not reveal it. Although many rumors were circulating on Twitter before the journalist announced it.
And you ? What do you think of the idea of Sam Houser ? Would a delay in the announcement have been more favorable to leave the surprise? Feel free to answer this question in the comments.
