Rocks𒐪tar's Sam Houser has given a rare interview to the Wall Street Journal. Fans of the developer won't want to miss it.

The Wall Street Journal writes: "Mr. Houser, 36 years old, sports a scruffy beard that stre𝓀tches to the top of his chest. In a rare interview, he joked that associates have described him as a 'lunatic' -- a reference to his creative intensity.

"Last year his studio hired a spiritual healer to exorcise bad vibes after the deaths of two fellow employees. He makes a habit of walking the streets of New York to study a hidden underworld of ex-cons, vagrants and other Diane Arbus-wort♋hy subjects. Some of them have inspired characters in his games."

The article then goes on to talk more about the possible EA / Take-Two deal, with Houser calling EA boss John R🍎iccitiello 'the real deal.'

"I'm not someone who has any kind of problem with that," said Houser on any potential acquisitionꦍ, adding EA turned him down for a job in the late 1990s. Funny how things turn out.
