TelegramWhat Zelnick said
GamesRadar reports that, on a Take-Two investor call, Zelnick was asked about AI-assisted game recompilations. He said the business has been largely immune to piracy concerns forever, and that replicating the game as intended would be very difficult because of technical limitations.
He added that the new wave of recompilations will become more of a challenge, that Take-Two is utterly focused on enhancing technical defenses and legal activities, and that every entertainment business faces some piracy but he expects it to be manageable. GamesRadar also notes ex-Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij suggested Rockstar could release a PC version sooner; that is his opinion, not an announcement.
