Former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeiji has recently deleted all of his posts about the company’s projects, including classic Grand Theft Auto titles, and canceled games. Vermeiji worked on some of the best Grand Theft Auto games ever made, including GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA 4, as well as some unreleased projects, and Rockstar was not very happy about the information he was divulging.
Vermeiji started writing the blog posts around a week ago, telling several insider stories about the development of Rockstar games during his tenure at the company, which lasted from 1995 to 2009. In these posts, he detailed some interesting aspects of canceled Rockstar games, explaining why Agent was canceled, and talking about a Scottish zombie survival game Rockstar was once developing using Vice City’s source code, but ended up canceling to release GTA San Andreas. At the moment, however, all of these posts are unavailable.
GTA 6 Fan Discovers Possible Trailer Date Hint in Rockstar's Announcement
A Grand Theft Auto 6 enthusiast uncovers a potential clue hinting at the release date for the long-awaited trailer of Rockstar's upcoming game.
Now, in a blog post titled “Sorry you missed it,” Obbe Vermeiji explained why he deleted the articles. He stated “I got an email from R*North. Apparently some of the OG's there are upset by my blog. I genuinely didn't think anyone would mind me talking about 20 year old games but I was wrong. Something about ruining the Rockstar mystique or something.” Vermeiji revealed that he would like to be able to talk more about the trilogy of GTA games released in the 2000s, but that he also does not want to irritate his former Rockstar colleagues, so he won’t be writing about this anymore.

Some of the most interesting information shared by Vermeiji was regarding canceled Rockstar titles like Agent. In one of his blog posts, the developer talked more about the long-lost spy thriller, which was supposed to be a PS3 exclusive. According to him, Rockstar worked on the game for over a year, but it was not progressing as well as the team hoped, and they decided to cancel the title and focus on DLC for Grand Theft Auto 4 and the development of GTA 5 instead.
While Rockstar fans are often interested in secrets regarding old games, the obvious highlight of the moment is the eagerly awaited Grand Theft Auto 6. A few weeks ago, Rockstar confirmed that the GTA 6 trailer would be out early in December. At the moment, there’s a lot of speculation about the upcoming game, such as that it will be set in Vice City and have two protagonists, but nothing has been confirmed so far.
