Take-Two renews employment agreement with Rockstar bosses
14
As part of its latest financial report, Take-Two announced that it has renewed its employment agreement with "key members of the creative team of Rockstar Games." Namely, both Sam and Dan Houser, along with Leslie Benzies, have renewed their agreements on "substantially similar economic terms."
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke highly of the Rockstar team, alluding to it as "the best creative talent in the industry." He added that Take-Two looks forward to working with Rockstar for "many years to come." In other words, it looks like Take-Two is holding on tightly to what is undoubtedly its biggest gun.

Oh thank raptor Jesus. Activation was sizing them up. RockStar understands that their franchises can breathe for a few years between releases.

Don't blame them.
Without R*, Bioshock series and 2K sports, what would Take Two have???

Guess Michael Pachter will have to take back that prediction that GTAV would come out at the start of next year then?

Why wouldn't they renew? LA Noire just sold millions of copies world wide.

LA Noire, Red Dead, GTAIV, San Andreas.
Those are some pretty epic games. I'd renew a contract as well.

So I'm guessing this means that GTAV won't be announced next year... or at least not in January.

I'm really happy for Take-Two. They're currently media darlings with all the press their getting for L.A. Noire and they deserve it; they've worked so hard at it. Hopefully more great things are to come from this big alliance.

This is the smartest thing Take Two has done. They are treating their employees well...unlike a certain company who will not be named since they are busy fighting ex-employees over ip rights....
