What Take-Two's annual report says about Rockstar Games
Sentences about Rockstar Games from Take-Two's latest annual filing[1], copied word for word.
Rockstar Games' strategy is to develop a limited number of titles that are known for their quality and longevity in the market for which they can create sequels and incremental revenue opportunities through virtual currency, add-on content, and in-game purchases across all key platforms.
Software titles published by our Rockstar Games label are primarily internally developed.
We believe that Rockstar Games has established a uniquely original, popular, cultural phenomenon with its Grand Theft Auto series, which is the interactive entertainment industry's most iconic and critically acclaimed brand and has sold-in over 465 million units worldwide.
