In 2009, Benzies signed a profit-sharing agreement with company co-founders Sam and Dan Houser, after being made a Rockstar principal for recognition of his work. The announcement comes as former Rockstar executive producer, Leslie Benzies, has hit a stumbling block in his $150 million lawsuit against publisher Take-Two. For example, one Megalodon Shark Card – equivalent to $8 million in virtual cash – costs the player £60 on the Steam Store Trouble on the Horizon? Online play comes with the option of micro-transactions – premium content purchases such as Shark Cards offering players millions in virtual dollars – which could be a significant revenue stream for Rockstar and Take-Two. In March 2017, GTA Online had over 90,000 players from steam online at any one time, which is spectacular when one considers that’s on just one of a number of platforms available. Grand Theft Auto Online still retains a large player base after all this time and with a continual stream of new online content, it holds its’ position as one of the most incredible online games available on the market. It’s not completely clear if the $6 billion comes purely from retail sales, or if it is down to recurrent online revenue that publisher, Take-Two enjoys from the highly popular online multiplayer platform. However, compared to GTA V they pale in comparison, with Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops achieving 26.5 million and 24.2 million sales respectively. In regards to other game titles, the Call of Duty games are highly popular, also grossing massive sales across numerous titles. That’s a whole lotta games – and also a whole lotta vehicle thefts, murderous rampages and trips to virtual strip clubs. The game is even more popular than the three most recent Star Wars films The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story grossed nearly $4.5 billion combined. For context, this makes the title more successful than James Cameron’s best-selling title, Avatar, which grossed $2.8 billion in sales – That’s double what the best-selling film of all time made.
