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. |
And GTA4 had a huge chance of non existance if MS didnt bail them out.

Bailed out at E3 06 when this was announced?
I think not.
