Zelnick and Slatoff have received a $25m bonus for their management fund after sacking 550 people from Take Two Interactive.
550 probably consultants.
GTA6 is in tweak phase, no need for massive number of people for that.
I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.
CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.
That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...
In a time when Rockstar has forgotten everything else except GTA and RDR, it's about time the developer got back to some of its gems.
Wonder what happened to the leaked medieval game that they were working on ... hope that's still on going and gets released sometime after GTA VI
Seeing as how it's been like 12yrs between releases, i don't think taking even more time is a good decision for the series
So make one GTA every human generation instead of every other console generation?
Come on...
Krafton CEO : 'It's a team that should be encouraged to create something new and continue their journey.'
Original title : 'We don't think Hi-Fi Rush 2 is going to make us money:' Krafton CEO says Tango Gameworks acquisition is about legacy
I’m wonder if Microsoft fully sold the Hi-Fi Rush IP. They kept the publishing rights of the original game. I don’t even understand why the IP was sold. MS could have had another of its menagerie of studios do another Hi-Fi game, despite such a thing being unlikely.
It was given for free on gamepass. It didn’t sell well. Look at starfield it only sold 2.5 million because of gamepass
Starfield did $235 million in revenue on Steam alone from Sept-December 2023. So I’m sure it sold considerably more than 2.5 million copies.

Yes, it did sell well. GP version has a fraction of the reviews that the Deluxe Edition (more expensive purchase version of original) has. If anything, it shows that more people actually bought the Deluxe version than played the GP version, on Xbox at least.
Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch 2 at launch would probably sell a good amount.
