Rockstar Games suffered a major leak at the end of 2022 when photos and video gameplay footage of the next Grand Theft Auto game emerged online. The situation was disappointing, but the head of Rockstar’s parent company confirmed it didn’t have an impact on business matters.
Speaking to IGN, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said the leak was “really frustrating and upsetting to the team,” but didn’t hurt the company financially. “As a business matter we’re not affected. But as a personal matter and an emotional matter, our teams are affected,” he said.
Zelnick also said that Take-Two took the situation “very seriously indeed,” and that’s no surprise to hear. After all, within days of the leak coming to light, the supposed perpetrator appeared in court and was held in a youth detention center.
