Rockstar Games and the game industry were shocked earlier this week by the news that co-founder and Creator Dan Houser should leave the studio on March 11, 2020.
However, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick, reassured investors and analysts, during the last Q & A after the revelation of the results of the T3202020, that nothing would change in the way the development team behind grand theft auto and red dead redemption works.
Dan Houseer was on extended leave since the beginning of spring 2019, said Zelnick, stressing that Rockstar Games was working on GTA Online and RED Dead Online even without his creative lead over the past year.
The company has been led since its creation by Sam Houseer, President of the Society, and it's an extraordinary team effort and Sam is an excellent player and coach, he added.
Regarding the chances that Sam Household can follow the stages of his brother in the future and leave the developer, Zelnick shared that Sam is very attached to the organization. And Sam and I work closely together, and it's a great pleasure to be able to work with Sam and the entire Rockstar team. »
Considering that the stock of Take-Two Interactive has lost more than 15% in value since the revelation of the departure of Dan Houser, such statements were something very necessary for the company in the future.
The gains of GTA Online and Red Dead Online have been a constant stream of revenue for Rockstar Games and the Owner Take-Two, with the holiday season breaking the records of the user base since their original outputs.
In addition to this, red dead redemption 2 revealed to have reached more than 35 million copies sold at the end of January, while GTA v has been confirmed as the best selling game in the last decade.
