While I have moved on from Multi Theft Auto roughly 12 years ago, I remain grateful that MTA:SA become one of my hobbies and introduced me to GTA Multiplayer in general.
I can never forget the communities I joined, the clan wars I participated in, and the players I befriended, some of which turned into colleagues when I became part of the staff team in a handful of servers.
It is definitely great to see how far the platform and the community has come.
