Rockstar Games' decision to introduce three protagonists proved to be a major win as the trio are often considered to be the greatest characters ever written for a video-game narrative.

While this may come as a disappointment for fans looking forward to a live-action adaptation, they can take solace in the fact that one of the main protagonists, the temperamental Michael De Santa himself, responded with a winner of a reply:
