Thanks to War Thunder for sponsoring the video! This video explores how Rockstar Games, known for its obsessive privacy and tight-lipped culture, quietly crafted GTA V behind closed doors for over five years. With no previews, and almost zero public insight into development, the team pushed technical and narrative boundaries in silence. Here’s how that secrecy paid off—culminating in a groundbreaking release that shattered sales records and reshaped open-world gaming forever. https://www.patreon.com/PounderMcNasty Works Cited: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nVHJz8bwGjIPHUoyoZi6233hGO5Hd6krXHM6DZFWgbI/edit?usp=sharing Business Email: [email protected]
