Take-Two is having the worst year ever. After the
Hot Coffee scandal tarnished the
publisher's name, their magical money-making machine was slapped with an Adults Only rating, essentially
suspending the company's income for a few months
until they could clean up and re-release the title.
Maybe it comes at no surprise that Take-Two's CEO Paul Eibeler has been slapped with the dubious title of "Worst CEO"
in an editorial on MarketWatch.com. Citing the aforementioned problems, as well as a "series of setbacks on the
rollouts of newer games - a perennial problem at Take-Two that appears to be getting worse," MarketWatch's
editorial (free membership required) has a point; maybe Mr. Eibeler needs to pressure Rockstar into churning out
more top-selling Grand Theft Auto sequels.
