Take Two has dared to speak of one of the most controversial issues that has suffered in recent years. The crunch that made Rockstar go through before launching Red Dead Redemption 2 was already quite famous, or how It Takes Two was denounced last December for the rights to its name a few days before this title was raised on GOTY 2021. However, the fact that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition failed them at its launch has put their prestige in question to a greater extent than anything that came before. Of course, they themselves explain that are satisfied with the sales of GTA Trilogy. Of course, without giving numbers.
And it is that, to give that headline, Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, conceded an interview on CNBC, where he spoke about various issues that recently happened to the company, such as the drop in the stock market after the very expensive purchase of Zynga, another video game company specializing in smartphone and PC games. However, Zelnick was also asked about previous controversies, like all the mess around GTA Trilogy since its launch.
Zelnick mentioned about those mishaps that “there was a glitch on launch, but it’s been fixed now”, a bit of a misleading answer, considering that, although various patches have fixed many problems in the trilogy, there are still quite a few bugs to fix. Anyway, the CEO also states that “it has worked very well for the company”, although it does not give any concrete figure. Truly, that he does not say the number of sales raises suspicions about the veracity of his statements, taking into account that some remasters with such a low investment can report benefits although sales are more discreet than expected.
The truth is that Grand Theft Auto Trilogy has made several big mistakes since its launch, with certain bugs and accidental glitches that could ruin more than one game. However, it is likely that, despite the initial mass returns, over time, according to lower price and fix the most appreciable errors, this collection of authentic Grand Theft Auto gems garner sales to match Take Two’s effort to fix the games.
