You forgot, step 5: Profit
As part of Take-Two's annual financial report for the year ended March 31, 2025, the company said it was still projecting about 5 percent growth revenue and net bookings (consumer spending on digital goods)
I would wager it would’ve been cheaper to fire one executives than the development team.
Shit, taking away their bonus could have paid for the dev team on its own.
Which is depressing in its own right.
