One developer supposedly even stated that there was "something in the woods" that wasn't Bigfoot, though the exact quote appears to have either been fake or has since been lost to time. Rumors would continue into the next Grand Theft Auto game, GTA IV. Rockstar employees began to talk about the Bigfoot rumors, though Rockstar co-founder Terry Donovan was quick to say in a 2005 interview that Bigfoot was not in San Andreas. In a fairly ironic parallel to real life, most of the supposed footage or screenshots were far too blurry and low-quality to actually verify if the player had actually seen Bigfoot or was fabricating footage. Many of these mods were also used for hoax videos where players claimed to have seen Bigfoot in-game. Due to how quickly these rumors spread, modders began to add Bigfoot into San Andreas themselves. Given how difficult it was to track down a copy of the game from before this patch, there wasn't really a way for players to investigate these claims back in 2005.
