Did the money MS spent on the GTA episodes pay off? It seems they did not sell too well.

MC suposely spent 50 million on this so n o they didn't.

*sigh* do some research first before writing such things.

Revenue of GTA DLC easily surpassed 50 millions and MS got their money back. Rockstar gets the profit.

Which is why the Take-Two CEO had to come out and explain to their investors why the GTA4 DLC sold poorly right?  I think somebody else needs to do their research.

Also, Revenue doesn't mean squat if it's less than the Operating Expense.  And FYI, Take-Two has been in the red in Net Income since 2008.  Even with the $50m MS gave them, they're still losing money.  There's no need to even debate this issue.  Just go straight to the facts.  Take-Two is a publicly traded company.  Their financial reports are readily accessible to the public.
