The Controversial Rise of Rockstar Games

Video Description

Check out Odoo: https://www.odoo.com/r/KrI ✦ Rockstar Games is perhaps the most controversial name in gaming. With iconic franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, they consistently push the boundaries of what video games can be, and often in problematic ways. But with every release, Rockstar seems to redefine a generation, and sell millions upon millions of copies. In fact, GTA V is one of the highest-grossing media titles ever. With over 200 million copies sold, it's the second best-selling game of all time behind Minecraft, and it’s made far more money than any music album, book or movie. But if you’ve been paying attention, Rockstar is gearing up to release their most anticipated game yet. Fans have been waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI for over 10 years now, and it could very well be the biggest release in gaming history. So while we wait to see how GTA VI will possibly live up to its hype, let’s piece together the 30-year history of Rockstar, and all the highly controversial, yet revolutionary games they’ve made. It’s a crazy story, and it all starts with two brothers who knew nothing about programming or game design. They just wanted to be gangsters. ✦ Source: The historical details and story in this video are primarily based on the book Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto, along with additional research and analysis.
