Key Rockstar Staff to Earn $18m in Shares
March 11th, 2009
Take-Two is paying key Rockstar Games employees as if they actually were rockstars.
The company's earnings report yesterday detailed financial guidance for the quarter and year ahead. Excluded from the forecast was the "potential issuance" of over 2.8 million shares of restricted stock for "certain employees of Rockstar Games," namely Sam and Dan Houser, the figureheads behind the phenomenally successful Grand Theft Auto franchise.
