For the uninitiated, Sam Houser is actually the co-founder and president of Rockstar Games. In fact, he’s always been a strong force behind most of the Grand Theft Auto installments released since 1997. Mr. Houser was born in London in 1971. His brother Dan Houser has also been involved in the making of many Rockstar titles.

However, the reason why Sam Houser never receives too much spotlight is because he mostly tries to remain away from media attention. His main focus always remains on pushing forward Rockstar Games as a brand. Rather than a person getting the credit, Sam tries to make the studio the face of their games, be it entries from Max Payne, Red Dead Redemption, or the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
