Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser has discussed the Grand Theft Auto series in a new interview.

In addition to co-founding Rockstar with his brother, Houser served as a writer for Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto 4, and Grand Theft Auto 5, in addition to both Red Dead Redemption games.

Speaking with podcaster Lex Fridman, Houser explained why the GTA games haven't returned to a setting like London, which previously appeared in the 1997 Grand Theft Auto expansion pack London 1969.
