Why all the hate? They did a good job, and they are getting paid well ánd they deserve it. The houser brothers are the key to a successful game. Privacy is all what matters. It's sh*tty to see this kind of article.

This.

For 12.5M I'd buy something waaaaaaaaaaay better but I don't live in NY with those housing prices.
That thing doesn't even have a pool littered with naked porn stars... $12.5... oh well as long as he likes it that is all that matters. I'd probably become Snoop Dogs neighbour for that money though, or move beside Charlie Sheen for the left over tail.
A large private estate would be my thing but that is all a dream anyway. Looks like a 1.5M house here, only because of that staircase. Be great to push your porn stars down once they become pregnant.

He may live in paradise on this Earth, but may suffer on death, we may do the opposite in second life.

Meh, i'd rather live awesome and die painfully than live painfully and die awesome.

Look what I have found! According to the Observer, Houser has another condo at 20 Greene Street, Soho. I searched it on Google Maps and found an L.A. Noire sticker on a roadblock! (LINK)

QUOTE (The Observer)

(...) the LLC was registered to a condo Mr. Houser owns at 20 Greene Street in Soho. Proving 70 Willow is not his first sizable buy, his 4,324-square-foot loft was purchased in 2006 for $6.25 million.

The Streetview photo was taken in July, 2011, a month after L.A. Noire was released. Is it possible that Dan Houser himself put that sticker there? Maybe he knew about the Google Streetview car coming around there that time, and therefore he put a sticker there to promote the game? Or anybody else could also stick that thing there. Interesting

EDIT: There's another sticker on a nearby lamp post. lol
EDIT #2: And another one on a fence.
EDIT #3: Another stickers on a lamp post and a traffic light.

Note: The large house which had the GTA IV/TLAD/CTW murals on it, is also in the end of the street. Awesome.

Pfft... I bought a mansion just north of Vinewood for way less money and it's way bigger than his house.

Do you think he is going to invite Michael Hollick to the house warming?

[Hurrikane]

More likely his credit rating needed to get the mortgage is based on future value of TTWO stock, which of course is based on how well GTAV will sell. So in a sense it is a GTAV related story.

He probably even had to tell the bank when the release date is, so they could assess the expected time of the rise in the stock price. Maybe he even had to tell them who the protagonist will be.

what a waste... all in the name of showing off. 12.5Million could buy you a MUCH bigger house with MUCH more property (in terms of acreage) in other parts of the country. just because you work in NY doesn't mean you have to live in the most expensive part of the county.

But the fact thats it's now owned by Dan Houser has probably put profits through the roof.

He could probably sell for 14 mil.

Surely part of that money buys you the luxury of living ina nice part of what many consider to be one of the best cities in the world. He could buy a way way bigger place where I live but that would suck.
