GTA Writer, Producer, and DJ Leaves Rockstar After Nearly 20 Years - IGN

Lazlow Jones worked at Rockstar for nearly 20 years, writing and voicing many of the Grand Theft Auto series' most famous radio shows.

This may be nothing but moving on with his career but Lazlo Jones, the longtime writer and in-game personality for several GTA games has left Rockstar games. He was credited most recently in Red Dead Redemption 2, but I think his biggest role was in GTA Vice City and San Andreas. I didn't think his character was as strong in GTAV or IV.

Wondering this this exodus of the core Rockstar staff will hurt their future output. After recently replaying RDR2 and confirming for myself that it's the game of the generation, I'm hoping they're able to deliver another major game for next gen, and not just rereleased GTA5 and GTA Online.

Lazlow is one of the few behund-the-scenes writers to also be a personality in the games. If there is a GTA6, rather than just endless cash-ins of microtransations for GTA Online/5, I hope his character makes a cameo.

Lazlow Jones leaves Rockstar Games after 20 years

source: https://rockstarintel.com/lazlow-jones-leaves-rockstar-games-after-20-years damn i don't know what to say. lazlow brought so much soul to the series writing the radio stations and ingame ads. i think my favourite is still chatterbox fm from gta 3.

This really seems like these guys are leaving..because GTA 6 could really be years away... and the GTA V milking will continue next gen.

Lazlo was an iconic part of some of the older games but didn't really do it for me in 5 (and maybe 4, but I forget)
