Rockstar boss, Sam Houser, has responded to the media outcry surrounding the Grand Theft Auto series.

"Most of the people who hate us are people it is truly an honour to be hated by", Houser told website Develop. "Reactionary creeps with strange agendas – and the Daily Mail."

"Most people who know about modern pop culture know about GTA and like or dislike it on its own merits”, he added.

The co-founder of Rockstar went on to say that the image of the company painted by sensationalist reports was far from the truth.

"I think we are both depressed at how boring we really are...No sharks, groupies or pounds of coke or anything fun at all. We read like angry dorks, which might be true, but is certainly not very exciting.”

The controversy surrounding the GTA series is unlikely to die down soon. A recent poll found that parents were more worried about their kids playing GTA than watching porn or drinking beer.
