Zelnick: No Plans To ‘Annualize’ Grand Theft Auto
by December 2, 2010 @ 1:31 pm
Grand Theft Auto is by far Take-Two’s most lucrative property. Are there plans for yearly installments a la Activision’s Call of Duty franchise? According to company chairman Strauss Zelnick, the answer is no.
Speaking to Reuters, Zelnick feels that rushing to churn out a new title on an annual basis potentially risks burning out consumers and threatens quality.
A wise, responsible choice we’d say. While annualizing may bolster profits in the short-term, it can significantly diminish a brand’s image long-term if quality slips.
