Chefe da Take-Two sobre suposto FIFA 2K: “incrivelmente difícil”

Por Vinicius Torres Oliveira

Editora reforça desafios ao buscar mais uma oportunidade no cenário esportivo

Envolvida com rumores sobre o desenvolvimento de um FIFA 2K, a Take-Two decidiu se pronunciar. A teleconferência de resultados mais recente da empresa sugere que trabalhar em um game desse padrão seria “incrivelmente difícil” devido ao licenciamento.

A declaração veio do próprio CEO da companhia, Strauss Zelnick. Segundo ele, a editora enfrentaria inúmeras complicações, em especial por conta das tratativas necessárias com ligas, associações e representantes de marcas específicas.

Isso também se deve a uma espécie de “monopólio” instituído pela Electronic Arts. A publisher já não tem mais qualquer relação com a entidade máxima do futebol, mas detém acordos de exclusividade com as mais populares ligas do mundo.

Gostaria apenas de observar que, no que diz respeito à licença da FIFA, ela não traz consigo direitos; não traz consigo jogadores, times ou ligas. Portanto, não é tão simples, por exemplo, como negociar com a NFL, ou a NBA, ou a MLB, onde no máximo você tem que negociar com uma liga e uma associação de jogadores.

A Take-Two também prevê um anúncio no “tempo certo” e acredita que um FIFA produzido pela 2K poderia render usuários “muito leais e integrados”. Porém, alcançar uma experiência de simulação de qualidade seria “incrivelmente difícil”.

April 16 (Reuters) - Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO.O) will lay off about 5% of its workforce, or around 600 employees, the publisher of the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise said on Tuesday, as the video-gaming industry extends its more than two-year long job cuts.

The company will also scrap several projects in development as part of a cost-reduction plan, which is expected to result in total charges of up to $200 million. It declined to name the projects that have been canceled .

Take-Two said the move is expected to drive more than $165 million of annual cost savings.

The company's shares were 1% higher in extended trading. They have fallen nearly 10% so far this year.

The move aligns Take-Two with Tencent-owned Riot Games, Electronic Arts (EA.O) and Japan's Sony Corp (6758.T) in trimming workforce this year due to uncertain spending from consumers after the pandemic-era boom.

PC and console gaming revenue growth is expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels through 2026 as gamers record fewer hours of playtime, according to research firm Newzoo.

Canceled projects will account for as much as $140 million of the total charges, while severance and employee-related costs are expected to be up to $35 million, it said. Take-Two will also reduce some office space as part of the move.

The company, which had 11,580 full-time employees as of March 2023, last month agreed to buy "Borderlands" maker Gearbox for $460 million in a cut-price deal at a time consolidation is driving up prices for makers of well-known titles.

Take-Two has been focused on the development of the next installment in the best-selling "Grand Theft Auto" franchise, but some reports have said the title could be delayed into 2026 from 2025.

For lo these many years, I have been playing a puzzle game called Two Dots.

They recently updated their Terms of Service to this thing:

I believe this is a long range aftereffect of the sale from original developer to Take-Two Interactive.

Some of the clauses in this ToU make me uncomfortable.

If I say something that _in their opinion_ is "disparagement", they can terminate my account and begin an "informal" negotiation leading towards binding arbitration.

Is it disparagement if I complain, here on the beloved hellsite, that a specific level was poorly designed? That a given level range is a tedious duplication of an earlier level range?

I like a lot about this game. I think it was crafted and maintained with a lot of love and skill.

I can't waive my legal protections as an end-user. I don't know these people. I don't want to give away my right to say grumpy things if a booster purchase goes wrong, or a software update renders the app unnavigable on my phone, or a new game mechanic makes me nauseous.

I dunno, maybe nothing hinky is happening here.

But I don't feel confident that I understand the legal agreement in the ToU. Guess I have to stop playing it. Drat.
