The Grand Theft Auto saga, or better known as GTAfor many years now, has become one of the most important sagas of all time. Every time a new GTA title is released, it becomes a social phenomenon and one of the most important events of the year. The expectation generated by these titles is unmatched. An example of this can be found in the first trailer for GTA 6, which already has more than 200 million views.
Despite being a saga with so much success and renown, Obbe Vermij, a former Rockstar developer, comments that he was not convinced by the direction the saga was taking, especially after the release of GTA 4. This title, according to him and several other workers, was not neither so good nor so fun like the previous games. In addition, it was a very dark installment, with a world that was too depressing. Because of this, he thought that GTA 5 would follow a similar direction and decided to leave the company.

However, Obbe Vermeijcommented that he was satisfied to see that the saga and GTA 5 had taken another direction and acknowledged that He was glad that he had been wrong in his prediction..
We made GTA 4, and in my opinion, it was a little bit too serious, too dark, too depressing almost. When I decided to leave after GTA 4, it was a few things. One of them was that my wife was Canadian and I wanted to go back to Canada. But I also thought that GTA 4 was not as good or fun as the previous games. And I thought that the next one was going to be even darker. I'm glad to see that I was wrong. GTA 4 is a lot more light-hearted than GTA 5, so I was wrong.
