Wired Magazine is giving readers a sneak peak into their May issue, profiling the highly controversial Rockstar Games and their fall from grace. The article, written by David Kushner, is fascinating and really dishes up the dirt on the stock option scandals, the GTA Hot Coffee mod, and the massive egos running the company as well as quite a few other things;

The Housers became increasingly demanding. Gillian Telling, a former assistant to Dan, remembers being commanded to clean snow out of his home satellite dish. When she failed to bring in the right kind of bagel, she says he called her a “useless whore” and a “edited - Labyrrinth” Former employees say they routinely heard yelled insults and slammed telephones. “These people are insanely smart and really good at being mean,” says one.

Since they were mentioning the excesses of top guys at Rock*, I am suprised they didnt mention the mock drive-by shootings that Donovan guy staged in the desert. These are some classy guys.
