Grove Street Games CEO Thomas Williamson has Tweeted that he is "enjoying this unparalleled level of scrutiny" with the response to the GTA Trilogy.
Although some players are enjoying the GTA Trilogy and all of its nostalgia, it's been more notable for its numerous issues and reports of unhappy players. Some of the key problems that have been pointed out since its launch include misshapen character models, spelling errors, the Rockstar Launcher going down, and intense weather effects.
With most of its players reporting issues and not being happy, you might be surprised to find out that the CEO of Grove Street Games, the developers behind the remastered trilogy, isn't that upset about the reception and is even "enjoying" the scrutiny.
As reported by Nintendo Life, Thomas Williamson, the CEO of Grove Street Games, Tweeted about the negative response to the remasters, saying, "It’s so fun to see players out there really enjoying what we’ve put together for them. I’m honestly enjoying this unparalleled level of scrutiny on our studio. Today we are celebrating our monumental project launch, while we work on updates".
Although it might seem like Williamson is willfully ignoring all of the complaints, he is more likely just trying to brush past the negativity and focus on the positive. His post also confirms that updates are currently being worked on, although the contents or release window are still unknown.
Williamson also Tweeted a day before the trilogy's release, saying, "As art ages, what was at the time a mistake becomes an homage, it becomes history. It's preservation is important. Han shoots first. One small step for man. Some mistakes should be rectified, and some should be preserved. Being on the deciding end is a heavy responsibility", which some have taken to mean that he knew there would be a negative response.
Speaking of negative responses, the replies underneath Williamson's posts are unsurprisingly negative, with gamers calling out the Trilogy's mistakes and requesting changes. In response, Williamson said, "I’ll say this once. I cannot possibly personally respond to individual concerns. Anything and everything that gets sent to Rockstar support is collated and considered. Send everything there".
