Biggest challenge of MCV Legend’s career has been the ‘powerful people’ who want to crush GTA firm

Media-shy Rockstar founder Sam Houser has told MCV that the biggest challenge of his career so far has been “powerful people” who have tried to “put Rockstar out of business”.

Speaking exclusively in the latest instalment of our MCV Legends series – and naming no names – Howser said that certain elements had tried to drive the label out for "political and economic" gain.

Houser added that his lifelong inspirations and “the amazing talent and humbling genius” of his colleagues have made these threats easier to face up to - and had driven him and his team to produce classic title after classic title.

That'll be the TV companies s*** scared that games are taking away the most lucrative of all demographics – 18-30 males.

Of course they're going to try and crush it. It's threatening their revenues and there is no way for the two to exist together.

Hmm. It's a very lightweight piece it turns out, but then again I'd expect little else from MCV. All the other 'Legends' pieces have been frightful flights of sycophancy, too.

I like his hat and that quirky little smile is to die for!
