In a further sign of Take Two solidifying their hold over Rockstar Games, the company has appointed industry veteran Gary Dale as Chief Operating Officer of the famed GTA developer. Most recently European managing director of Capcom, Dale was previously the president of games at BMG until Take-Two acquired them in 1998. What this means for Sam Houser’s control over the company remains to be seen but if any of the gossip is to be believed, around the time of the closure of Rockstar Vienna in May, a behind the scenes power struggle has ensued, resulting in a small exodus from the company. In other news, a games analyst has gone on record questioning the success of Rockstar’s recent media storm, Bully, estimating it to see less than a million sell-through worldwide, not exactly a hit (but also not really that bad). But taking into consideration the title took more than 5 years to get out of the door, it doesn’t exactly look promising that a Bully 2 would be coming out anytime soon, if at all.
