It was taken down because the Rockstar executives didn't want him talking about a 20 yr old game[0]. How very disappointing and droll. [0]: https://insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com/2023/11/sorry-you-missed-it.html https://insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com/2023/11/sorry-you-m...

  I mirrored the entire blog at 16:49 PST today because I totally predicted something like this would happen. Get it here: https://archive.org/details/insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com https://archive.org/details/insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com Fuck Rockstar/Take2 for constantly punishing their most loyal fans. Get the DMCAed reverse-engineered GTA3/VC here too: https://git.robbyzambito.me/mirror/re3.git/log/ https://git.robbyzambito.me/mirror/re3.git/log/

    Thanks for the good work! I saved all the pages to PDF after reading the article, just in case -- was going to do the same thing as you! I agree here: fuck Rockstar Games for this; I was so hyped for the Behind the Scenes of IV in particular. It could have shared, new undiscovered details and information. Cloning that Git repo now. (P.S. This may be the vodka talking, but I believe I've found a few articles in your dump that I can't see on the archived page. Thank you so much for preserving this info.)

  FFS... "ruin the mystique" or just show that management didn't care about work / life balance and burned out their staff like every other games company of the time.

I'm curious. How fast did WebArchive archived it or did someone did it in nick of time? The article was taken down in less than 24-hours.

idk what do they have to be upset about - It’s a few anecdotes from developing the game and not naming anyone. Sounds like it’s more about not sharing anything at all.
