Rockstar Games is now defending itself in the public as well as in court.
The Grand Theft Auto developer has responded to a lawsuit from the game’s former director Leslie Benzies by filing a countersuit of its own and providing GamesBeat with a statement about the case. Benzies’ complaint is asking publisher Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games, and Rockstar founders Dan and Sam Houser to pay $150 million in royalties. In an earlier statement, Benzies’ legal counsel referred to Take-Two and Rockstar’s countersuit as ‘sparse,’ and now Rockstar is hitting back with claims that the former director’s original filing is “downright bizarre.” This battle is waging over one of the $99.3 billion gaming industry’s biggest properties, and it could also reveal some internal secrets of one that business’s most secretive studios.
