Rockstar co-founder finally settles ancient debate: GTA is NOT as good as Charles Dickens

Michael sunbathing in GTA V.

Ever since I first started reading forums, the old argument has raged. What's better: Bleak House's sharp satire of the British establishment, or finding the jetpack in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas?

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser—who left the studio in 2020—has been on the interview circuit recently, promoting his new novel, and in the process of a recent chat with The Guardian, settled the debate for good: the Grand Theft Auto games are "not as good as Dickens." Case closed. Wrap it up, GTAilures.
