However, lately, the overall series has come under a bad light, especially after last year’s debut of The Definitive Edition. For someone who’s played it already, it won’t be difficult to say that it was far from perfect. All the games from the original trilogy ended up getting bad reviews and feedback from critics and players combined.

After Rockstar, now it seems like Grove Street Games is the next on fans’ target in a serious manner.

Recently, the developer shared news of its latest job listings for those interested in joining the team. On Twitter, it mentioned that working will feel like having fun at Grove Street.

On the other hand, fans had their own opinions as they wasted no time in calling out the studio for not doing anything to fix the GTA Trilogy. Many of the players were critical of their way of handling the gameplay-based complaints.
