Two delays, a digital-only launch, an $8 billion forecast resting on one game, no PC version announced, and a union tribunal that opens three weeks before the reveal. A clean separation of what Rockstar and Take-Two have actually said from what everyone has filled in around it.
Take-Two got court-ordered access to Microsoft and Discord records in a single day, without filing a lawsuit or naming a defendant. The tool is a DMCA subpoena — fast, cheap, rarely explained, and in this case aimed at a great many people who did nothing.
