The Hell?

Destructoid must've been reading a different interview than I did. The part they quoted said:

"I think the way you work with a Buddy in FC2 and the way it is done in GTA are completely different. In any case, it's pretty clear if you look back to Leipzig where our Buddy System was first detailed, well, there was basically no information about GTA IV at that time - we definitely came up with our buddies independently. That said, there is no doubt that girlfriends in GTA were a minor influence or inspiration on certain elements of our Buddy System."

In other words, they came up with the buddy ideas independently (because no GTA4 news was available), and a GTA game with Girlfriends that was ALREADY OUT (ie, San Andreas), influenced THEIR Buddy System. Not the OTHER WAY AROUND.

Reading is HARD.

1.1 - Yeah.
Seems a little weird there. Both GTA IV and San Andreas are out right now. This game is still in development. How could R* have copied them?
