vizuary: I have heard it was a loan, but who the hell knows since nothing has yet to be announced.

But yeah, none of the money went towards making GTA4 better. That's all Rockstar.

 Rockstar didn't make GTA4 better, it's developers did. And last I checked, developers like to get paid. That money made the game what it is today :)

Apparently you aren't paying attention. The money that Microsoft gave Rockstar has nothing to do with the game that is releasing this Tuesday. It's for FUTURE DLC. Thank you Sony for making GTA so great makes just as much since as this thread.

Umm... the reason they loaned them that money a long time ago, was because they needed it to make the game. GTA4 was continually being pushed back, and if MS had not stepped up to pay, it would have released months ago, and been less of a game.

What MS gets in return for bailing them out, is exclusive DLC. MS did not pay 50 mill for the DLC, they forward funded the development of the game with a loan that R* is to pay back.

Does it look like I am paying attention now?
