For the longest time, publisher Take-Two Interactive was known simply as the GTA publisher. Truth be told, however, the last few years have seen Take-Two build up a respectable library of IP besides GTA, and for the recent fiscal year, it paid off big time (largely because of Red Dead Redemption). That said, the world still eagerly awaits word on the next Grand Theft Auto.
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.
Bury them deep, plant an endangered species of tree ontop- body can never be recovered 🧐
Don’t ask how I know this 😂
So don't support take 2 by buying games... pretty easy to vote with your wallet.
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.
That would be the way to do it. Imagine thinking a CEOs "leadership" is worth that much money while the talent makes the product.
Insanity.
I remember when I started working, my department manager used to gift us stuff each year, one year I got a bottle of Scotch, another it was a small basket of treats... But that was also a lot less money than what we're talking about here.
It would be ideal if the CEO could gift a bonus to everyone under them.
Monetary company bonuses (often referred to as Christmas bonuses) were astoundingly common.
The entire premise of Christmas Vacation was set around Clark's bonus.
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...
With BattlEye anti-cheat breaking GTA Online on the Steam Deck, backlash from fans may be answered as Valve says they're looking for a fix.
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...
Hopefully it's on NGP too, that would be a killer ip.
couldnt see it happen because they have alot of games to finish still and working on like max payne 3 la noir and ps3 exclusive the agent hoping to hear some more info at the e3 2011
open world zombie GTA???
i can dream cant i?? lol
Since Rockstar Games are coming to E3 we all know we are going to see a GTA V, Max Payne 3 teaser. We might see Agent, Bully 2 :P
That would be EPIC!!!
