It is reported that in the spring of 2019, shortly after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, Dan took a long vacation, eventually deciding to leave the company. The reasons for the decision were not communicated, but apparently it burned out after a series of projects difficult to produce.

Dan was the creative director and screenwriter of most of the company’s projects, including the main parts Grand Theft Auto, dilogy Red dead redemption, Bully and Max Payne 3.

They should tell in more detail about the incident on the Take-Two quarterly report, which will be held on February 6. At the same time, Sam Hauser, Dan’s brother, will remain the leader of Rockstar.

It is noteworthy that, in a similar way, Rockstar executive producer and Rockstar North president left in 2016 Leslie Benzis: in September 2014, he took a long vacation, after which he decided to leave the studio.

True, then a trial began between him and Take-Two about the honesty of dismissal, but that’s another story.

Another similar incident occurred with the creative director of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, The Last of Us and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Bruce Straley. After the release of Way of the Thief, he took a long vacation, a year later deciding to leave Naughty Dog.
