Thomas Williamson, perhaps trying to retain some semblance of professionalism, didn’t mention the label by name, but said “hypothetically” that it’s a “d*ck 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”.
To be totally clear, Grove Street Games do still appear in the credits of the GTA Trilogy, so that hasn’t changed. The studio’s logo, however, has been removed from the start screen of the remasters.
Earlier this week, Rockstar released a massive patch for the GTA Trilogy which restores the original artstyle of the games and introduces tons of fixes. We’re planning to revisit these games over the weekend and will share our impressions, but from what we’ve seen so far, we feel like this bundle – which we originally scored a 5/10 – is finally worth playing.
