Facade (Stylized as FACADE) is a computer applications company in the HD Universe appearing in both Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA IV one of their products "Wing It" is advertised on the in-game radio. In GTA V they have a slightly larger role and are featured on the BAWSAQ and the LCN as FAC. A Facade is a flashy object that is usually empty on the inside, this could suggest that the company produces products that are all style and no substance.
The company is likely based on Microsoft due to both companies being in the computer applications industry featuring four squares in their logo, and a user interface design similar to that of Windows' "Metro" UI.
