You remember the Epsilon Program? It’s basically the GTA series’ parody of Scientology and other religions with rather out there beliefs which, at least to the cynic like you or I, can often sound a bit like cults or pyramid schemes. Well, during GTA 5‘s development, ex-Rockstar developer and everyone’s favourite in-game radio host Lazlow Jones reckons he recieved a real life phone call from some folks who actually believe in the ways of Kifflom.
This comes from an interview with IGN which largely saw Jones discuss what he’s currently doing with Absurd Ventures, the studio he co-founded with Dan Houser after leaving the studio that’s now starting to near the end of the road to bringing us GTA 6.
Back when he was still at Rockstar and working on GTA 5, Jones says he recieved a phone call from a woman claiming to represent a group of real-life Epsilon Program followers, who told him they were “dying to know more” about the clearly not real religion first developed for GTA San Andreas.
