Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser blames himself for Max Payne 3 - "a large amount of that failure was on me"

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser blames himself for Max Payne 3 - "a large amount of that failure was on me" "The consensus at the time was that people hated it." Max Payne 3 is a bit of a strange project. Unlike its two predecessors, the game wasn't developed by original creator Remedy Entertainment, rather it was the product of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption studio Rockstar Games. My bit was not a success." Max Payne 3 is seen as a commercial disappointment by publisher Take-Two, who said its "lower than expected sales" were mainly responsible for a loss of $110m (~£82,9m) that financial quarter. Years after Max Payne 3's release, Remedy and Rockstar would be reunited on a mega-project: a remake of Max Payne 1 and 2, which Remedy said two years ago had entered full production.
