Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Pretty sure rockstar had nothing to do with the first GTA game. It was developed by DMA (which did later become rockstar north but at the time was not) and was published by BMG.

Same with Max Payne, right? I think only Max Payne 3 was made by Rockstar.

Yeah I believe Remedy did those first two games, but apparently whom ever made this graphic thinks you can retroactively claim releases after buying an IP.

what do you think rockstar is?

A subpar energy drink.

The things recruiters call you when they don't want to pay you

A company that hasn't released a game in a long ass time. (Valve, The company people keep claiming doesn't release games has released several titles in the time span between 5 and whenever 6 comes out).

Just because a company / team was absorbed into a larger one and given a name doesn't mean they can retroactively claim releases under that name......

Take Two Interactive bought DMA and the GTA IP and then gave them the name Rockstar north, at no point did the name Rockstar appear on anything to do with the initial release of GTA.
