An ex-Rockstar North developer who left the company all the way back in 2009, Obbe Vermeij, has shut down his blog after getting an email from the studio that informed him “some of the OG’s there are upset.” This kind of secrecy is harming the industry.
No one likes spoilers, sure, but there’s a vast difference between showing people how games are made and revealing every little detail to them. Vermeij recently started a blog sharing tales from his time at the company between 1995 and 2009. He was there far too long ago to be revealing any current secrets but was able to shed some light on the mysteries of game dev. Unfortunately, his former colleagues were worried about him “ruining the Rockstar mystique,” so he stopped and removed many of the blogs, as reported by Insider Gaming.
