Former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij said he has no regrets about the studio cancelling projects like Agent, Project Z, and a potential Bully sequel, arguing they would have distracted from Grand Theft Auto's dominance. In a candid interview, he maintained that Rockstar is right to funnel experimental ideas into GTA rather than launch new IPs, even as he praised studios like Larian for taking the opposite, riskier route.
