#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

That might be more sad to hear someone work on that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

But again, that will probably happen too.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

I don't own the IP.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

That was the sort of part of the deal.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It's a privilege to work on stuff, but you don't necessarily own it.

Lex Fridman Podcast

You kind of are saying goodbye to Arthur in the end of the game, even before the end of the game.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Yeah, I think, you know, I've been with them for seven, eight years and you have to kind of let it go or you can't go on to the next one.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

So there's always this thing of, okay, that's done.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

And sometimes people would ask me questions about older games.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

And certainly when I was in the middle of making new ones, I couldn't really necessarily even remember.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

I've got a pretty good memory normally because you kind of have to let it go.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

So you're so immersed in it and thinking about it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

And certainly in that last period, the last few months, you're really, really immersed in every little nuance and every little detail all of the time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

And then you're just not thinking about it in the same way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

I hope so.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Because you've been with them so long.

Lex Fridman Podcast

That's when you finish a book you love.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It's the same feeling.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

And I think that was something that we really, in the early days of Rockstar, really aspired to have that, where people would have that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It wasn't just the mania of clearing a level, but the feeling of saying goodbye to characters.
