I don't know if the trade off is worth it: secure network connections and a lot less hackers, but all DLC content is now $15.

I don't know if the trade off is worth it: secure network connections and a lot less hackers, but all DLC content is now $15. While I dont want to pay $15 a dlc anymore than anyone (although Im sure it wouldnt of cost $15 a piece for the DLC's we've gotten so far) my main concern is the future of GTA and R* as a whole. If Activision and EA have shown us anything its that they will pump out game after game until a series is milked completely dry with little regard for the developer. Take CoD for example: IW creates the best FPS in the history of FPS(at the time) in cod4 and promptly after the release of MW2 they fire nearly every single soul who had a hand in making the series what it is today. I fear that 1 game every 5 years will be far from enough for them and they will either force R* to drop games early or simply fire the majority of the staff and go a completely different direction. Granted Im no expert on how the business side of the game industry works but from what I can tell its not much different from movies and music. The producer would own the IP and its not as though R* could just pick up and leave Activision while continuing to make their games. We also are not talking about just GTA here. Correct me if Im wrong but by nature of owning R* they would own the rights to all of these games also made by R*: Monster Truck Madness 2 (1998) (Nintendo 64 release) Wild Metal Country (1999) (Dreamcast release, later Windows release) Thrasher: Skate and Destroy (1999) Midnight Club series (2000–present) Smuggler's Run series (2000–2002) Max Payne series (2001–present) Oni (2001) (PlayStation 2 release) State of Emergency (2002) Manhunt series (2003–present) Red Dead series (2004–present) The Warriors (2005) Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (2006) Bully (2006) Beaterator (2009) L.A. Noire (2011) As well as ALL of these games too Complete list of Take-Two Interactive gamesThats a staggering amount of IPs that are generally held in high regard. While many of us want more from Take-Two's IPs I highly doubt my desires would be met through Activision. Part of what makes their games so god damn good is they have notoriously given no fucks about pumping games out and allow devs to take their time. On the other hand it leaves us all wanting more from them. THAT is a give and take relationship that I made peace with a long time ago though. So I truly cannot think of one good thing that could come of this at all. |

On a sidenote IF Take-Two were to sellout there would be no better time to do than after breaking every record in sales with GTA. Their value has truly never been higher and that scares me even more because it makes the move logical, calculated and very real.

Rockstar won't sell out, if they do then they're foolish.
