GTA 5 Ships 75 Million Copies

[MrTroubleMaker]

I assume the sales helped with this, and this should help keep online going as well.

In terms of financial performance, Take-Two pulled in $476.5 million in revenue, up 15 percent compared to $414.2 million last year. GTA V, GTA Online, WWE 2K17, NBA 2K17, and Civilization VI were called out as being the largest contributors to revenue during the period.

 

Revenue from digital content jumped 64 percent to $240.2 million, up from $146.4 million. Additionally, "recurrent consumer spending," which includes microtransactions, DLC, and virtual currency, made up 39 percent of digital revenue and 20 percent of total revenue. GTA V, GTA Online, Civilization VI, and NBA 2K17 were mentioned as being the largest contributors here.

 

Overall, Take-Two posted a loss of $29.8 million for the quarter, which is better than the $42.4 million loss it took during the same period last year.

 

"Take-Two had a highly successful holiday quarter," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in prepared remarks. "Consumer demand for our new releases and catalog titles was strong throughout the period, and players continued to engage significantly with our games after purchase. As a result, we delivered better-than-expected bookings, including our best-ever quarter for recurrent consumer spending, along with double-digit growth in both net revenue and net cash provided by operating activities."

And still nothing put back into stability, a proper server setup, etc. A shame.

[askinnywhitedildo]

And yet, the servers still don't work correctly

Damn, you ninja'd me

And yet most of the vehicles that were released with bugs and errors remain untouched.

So that the game works properly.

[CarimboHanky]

even with the 30million "loss" those numbers are damn good!

[Happy Hunter]

mad about what?

It was a vibe I was getting off the way you mimicked my hashtag, and tried to appropriate the blame on my internet - as opposed to Rockstar's horrible P2P system.

75 million x $60 = $4.5 billion

That can get you 45,000,000 megladon shark cards

that's $360,000,000,000,000 in game cash.

You can almost buy everything you want with that money.

It'd show that Rockstar don't just see their playerbase as a bunch of rubes that exist just to purchase shark cards every now and then, and heavily improve one of the largest problems with Online.

Yeah, the Infernus has a messed-up carbon fibre section in one headlamp and the Dubsta 2's steering wheel stitching floats in the air.

 

Both annoy me to no-end.

 

Edit: the Zentorno has an issue with custom hoods causing there to be a black seam to be visible esp. with lighter paint hues on the passenger side.

That is, 'till the next update hits.

The Lynx's steering wheel is way off-centre too. You'd think they'd at least try to squash such tiny bugs quickly, but nope. Real shame since that is one of my favourite cars to drive at the moment. So much for the 'server stability improvements' in the patch notes too.

You do realize they don't make $60 off each copy of the game, right?

If I have to buy a r* game I'm using g2a Or a third party key site because I'm not giving them my money.

You understand the difference between net and gross, right?

Dedicated servers are cancer. Try playing vanilla CS 1.6 servers these days... servers in this game are filled with sh*tty meme mods, meme sounds, Unreal Tournament announcer and admins ban for literal no reason.

Dedicated server =/= community hosted server. Your experience in a source engine game is not relevant to this conversation.

Any server that's hosting mods is more than likely not an official server.

how much have u given them so far?

 

these kind of comments intrigue me, have you bought loads of shark cards? or just the game? in which case whats the big deal? money comes and goes....you want their service but dnt wanna pay for it?

She has the game on multiple different platforms. I think she paid more than enough for it.

 

Has a point too - there should be more clothes. I've heard of modders making all sorts - there's not really an excuse for Rockstar to not have upped their game.

[LL Cool L]

also the dedicated server thing...I also want

 

I asked why would they bother doing it now cos the game is like 3 years old.....its also a port, its a shiny ps3 game in actuality

 

 

 

 

whats the point doing it now...

[Happy Hunter]

whats the point doing it now...

Because they're still making updates for the game, so it's not dead yet.

 

And because there's an unacceptably high number of unknown network errors, sessions splits - just too laggy and iffy in general.

For a 3 year old game with the problems it got, thats pretty impressive.

errm ok, next time I have a question for Quinn ill PM you then....

 

so she willingly bought the same game multiple times....whos fault is that? Im guessing quinn liked it then.....

 

also those network issues are not universal, I dnt get them, some people do, some dont.....logic would state that maybe its not actually R* s fault

 

 

 

 

but logic triggers rage here
