Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser Avoids GTA 6 and Open-World Games

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser, who left the company in 2020 and now runs Absurd Ventures, told Variety he hasn't watched the GTA 6 trailer and doesn't plan to, as he avoids content that could "disrupt me creatively." He also rarely plays open-world games because he deconstructs them in real time. GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
