Rockstar has been at the forefront of gaming news in recent weeks. Most of the attention is related to the release of the highly-anticipated GTA 6.
With GTA 6 in development and GTA Online getting a massive update, it appears that Rockstar Games can do no wrong. But, this isn't the case. In a recent tweet, Mike Dailly, one of the co-founders of DMA, claims that videos he has recently shared on social media have been taken down due to copyright strikes issued by Rockstar.
Dailly was one of the developers who worked on the prototype of the original Grand Theft Auto game. He is also credited for creating the hit game Lemmings while working for DMA Design. The role of DMA Design in GTA DMA Designs under BMG Interactive release the original Grand Theft Auto in 1997.
DMA Design was founded in 1987 by David Jones with classmates Mike Dailly, Russell Kay, and Steve Hammond. Dailly was the first employee hired by Jones to work at DMA. The company's first big break was with the platform game Lemmings. The game was launched in 1991 for the Amiga personal computer and has sold an estimated 20 million copies since it was first released.
