The 50 million was a loan, not a gift for exclusive content. And the loan got them some EEC, but they wouldn't screw Sony over some money, Sony was the only system willing to give GTA III a chance, when Nintendo and MS didn't want to touch it. If you all think back, you can remember how no one wanted the game on the system beside Sony. I don't think that R* and TT would do that to the company that helped them. |
Just like to point out, If you were the head of a company and were very close to the edge finacially would you A) say no to a company to try to stay faithful to another with at the time alot less hardware? Or B) be grateful your arse was being saved and take the money for in return whatever they wanted.

I just find it so weird. Take-Two has no loyalty. |
I wouldn't say no loyalty. But when your back is against the wall you need to take all the help you can get.
What's more important? Staying alive or being loyal?
Most people don't have that kind of loyalty, let alone companies which are by in large built to be ammoral and to just make the most money they can. |
I understand business. But I also understand that GTA wouldn't have been as huge as if it was, if the game never came out. And with no other console manufacturer looking to take this game on, except for Sony, you'd think that they'd have some sort of loyalty to them, for helping make GTA as big of a game as it is today. But I digress. This is the business world. Money talks, and favors are quickly forgotten. It's sad though, I thought that TT had a soul. |
Don't they have like two or three exclusive games in development for the PS3 that were started back when their was no reason and the PS3 was looking practically dead in all regions?
Even if you are looking at it in a loyalty sense. Loyalty to your workers is more important then loyalty to your buisness partners.
I bet before they agreed on in Take 2 went to Sony to see if they'd match the offer.
Though as for that soul thing... I guess you didn't read about all the alterior motives for Take 2 not selling out to EA. In otherwords the head of the board just wants to fatten his wallet via stock options.
