Take-Two can turn an annual profit without major Grand Theft Auto launches thanks to franchises such as Red Dead Redemption and NBA 2K, according to financial analyst David Ristau from The Oxen Group.
The American developer and publisher made a profit in 2010, despite not releasing a new GTA title during this period -- the first time this has happened since the company was founded in 1993. "This is not a one-horse show any longer," says Ristau on financial site Seeking Alpha.
The head of AI at Take-Two says his time with the company has reportedly 'come to an end.'
Take-Two has hired Perfect Dark studio head Darrell Gallagher and creative director Brian Horton to start a new studio under 2K.
Fired Rockstar Games staff have protested outside the UK offices of parent company Take-Two and developer Rockstar North today, denying accusations of leaking company secrets and calling for their reinstatement.
The fired Rock Star Games staff were likely at-will employees, which means they could be terminated by the employer for almost any reason. Doesn't make it right, but it is what is.
There is no such thing as this in the UK. You can never just fire someone for no reason.
