The poorly received Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition got a surprise and much-needed update earlier this week, but not everybody is happy with the results.
After the update went live on PC and consoles, fans noticed quickly that Grove Street Games, the studio that developed Definitive Edition with Rockstar Games, had been removed from the splash screen ahead of the start menu.
Now Grove Street CEO Thomas Williamson has spoken out on X about the situation. “Speaking entire hypothetically: It’s a [jerk] 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,” Williamson wrote.
