The brits and american culture
April 28, 2008
“Grand Theft Auto IV is such a simultaneously adoring and insightful
take on modern America that it almost had to come from somewhere else.
The game’s main production studio is in Edinburgh, and Rockstar’s
leaders, the brothers Dan and Sam Houser, are British expatriates who
moved to New York to indulge their fascination with urban American
culture.
Their success places them firmly among the distinguished cast
of Britons from Mick Jagger and Keith Richards through Tina Brown
who have flourished by identifying key elements of American culture,
repackaging them for mass consumption and selling them back at a markup.”
