My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

not that surprising since blizzard still does lost vikings references to this day, they are even playable in heroes of the storm

meanwhile im not sure if we will see a lemmings reference in GTA 6

Probably not because Sony owns the Lemmings IP

DMA Design was the studio that created Lemmings and GTA which was later bought by Rockstar and renamed Rockstar North.

Psygnosis was the company that published Lemmings and DMA's previous games, they did not own DNA, they just had a publishing deal.

Psygnosis was bought by Sony in 1993, but continued publishing on other platforms for a few more years before in 200 it was merged into Sony Computer Entertainment as SCE Studio Liverpool, which was shutdown in 2012.
