How chaotic gang of British 'geeks' launched one of most lucrative gaming franchises of all time [Grand Theft Auto]

I found this mini-article interesting. It talks about the development of GTA from its early days in Scotland, in the UK.
Many people probably assume that GTA is an American game series, and sure it is ultimately owned by American companies (Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive).
But GTA was originally made in Scotland, and Rockstar North, which I think is still the lead development studio for GTA, is still based in Scotland.
GTA must be one of Scotland's most important exports of modern times. The website of Rockstar North clearly shows their Scottish heritage with a Scottish flag on the left-hand side:
That would be great. "Get tae fuck ya wee bawbag" (I think that's the kind of thing Scots say)
Unfortunately I think they'll stick with the USA
The Glasgow ice cream wars feel like a fitting setting
They put that in vice city as a set of missions.
Scots sounds like:
"Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”
NacMacFeegle wahey!
TBF: There was GTA London
Sounds like a job for Rockstar Australia(as it has the director of The Getaway, Brendan McNamara)
