Rockstar Games may not have launched a new game for almost three years, but the star-studded studio still generates colossal revenues for its parent company Take-Two Interactive. And of course, we owe these staggering figures to the indestructible GTA V.
This week, Take-Two organized its traditional conference call with investors to take stock of its financial results. Overall, the American publisher is doing like a charm with more than $128 million in net profit earned during the last quarter. An unprecedented result for the company, which owes this success to its emblematic licenses, which are a hit even years after their launch.
