UPDATE 23/11/23: Ex-Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij has U-turned on plans to share more about the development of early Rockstar games he worked on, after Rockstar itself got in touch.
"Today I got an email from R* North," Vermeij wrote in a new blog post, after his earlier details about Agent and an abandoned zombie project caught the eyes of fans. "Apparently some of the OG's there are upset by my blog. I genuinely didn't think anyone would mind me talking about 20 year old games but I was wrong. Something about ruining the Rockstar mystique or something.
"Anyway, this blog isn't important enough to me to piss off my former colleagues in Edinburgh so I'm winding it down. I'll maybe just leave a few articles with anecdotes that don't affect anyone but me.
