About GTA:

Well how does it feel now, knowing that he created one of the biggest selling and probably best global open world games in gaming history? That is quite huge.

Which impact does it have on him nowadays?

Does he like the direction it has taken and where it's going?

Where did he get the idea to design such a game?

Did he have the idea already earlier, but couldn't realize it due to hardware limitations at that time?

Wasn't he afraid of the game getting censored due to it's obvious violence?

What's his opinion about the latest GTA V?

What's his opinion about Red Dead Redemption? Does he like the idea of the western setting?
