Another big gaming interest in these days of financial earnings is 2K parent company Take-Two Interactive, which took the opportunity to address the hacking and leak of 2K internal data and many accounts for Grand Theft Auto 6.
Evidently, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, needed time to address the hacking situation that both Rockstar Games and 2K Games fell victim to and as of the writing of this, apparently the cu;prit is a teenage hacker, already busted once for doing the same thing, hacking out of pleasure.
Zelnick assured that there's no evidence that any material assets were taken and certainly the (Grand Theft Auto 6) leak won’t have any influence on development or anything of the sort.
Nonetheless, admitted that the company needed to adopt more security awareness in the workplace and probably we could see some economic repercussions soon.
As for earning numbers, the company reported $1.5 Billion of revenue, falling short by .5 to reach analyst consensus and net booking also below the $5.77 billion mark landing on $5.5 billion.
To make matters worse, Take-Two cutted the outlook for what to expect on Q3 2023 and investors obviously reacted rightfully negatively with stocks devaluating 15% after the earning report.
