Former Rockstar tech lead says "I actually got a basic deathmatch going for GTA3" long before GTA Online made billions

GTA 3.

Former Rockstar technical lead Obbe Vermeij has said early stabs at GTA 3 multiplayer included a basic version of a deathmatch-style mode.

Of course, GTA deathmatch goes all the way back to the PC version of the original 1997 title, and was continued in GTA 2, but GTA 3 never got official multiplayer support.
