So, it seems to be a bit of a hectic week at R* due to the fact that they are now being sued by the very person that helped launch the GTA franchise into what it is and even cleaned up Red Dead Redemtion so it would arrive on time for release, R*'s former CEO and lead developer Leslie Benzies has filed a suit against R* for unpaid royalties and possibly the shittiest of ways to get terminated, and is suing for $150M. Polygon: Leslie Benzies vs. R* North and Take Two Interactive
Video, courtesy of The Know: Considering this event, Take Two and R* are counter suing Benzies for breach of contract. If this gets extended out, there could be a court order for R* to suspend production of titles related to work Benzies had done, this including any new Red Dead games, and any updates for GTA:O considering part of the suit is related to royalties on these two franchises. Even further, it could cause operations to cease for any version of Online until things are sorted. Keep in mind that although possible, it is a more pessimistic view of the situation. Put simply, this could very well end up being a Konami v. Kojima 2.0So, what are your thoughts on all this crazy?

I hope this won't affect the production of games or hurt R* in any way, lets just hope they will sort things out with the benz.
