Rockstar officially killed the myth — but fans decided the developer was lying.

In a 2005 interview, Rockstar co-founder Terry Donovan explicitly stated 'There is no Bigfoot, just like in real life.' Instead of ending the myth, this denial sparked conspiracy theories that Donovan was being intentionally deceptive or hinting at other hidden creatures like Piggsy, with fans continuing searches for years despite zero evidence found in game files.
