Well, hope whatever he releases first is decent. He'll get a free pass with that due to his history and rep, but if it's only bang average then his history will count for jack and folks will assume it's not him, but Rockstar as a whole that had the magic touch.

So, risky nove for him. But I hope it works out. I'll follow with interest.

It says the company wants to work in games, film, books, graphics novels, and podcasts.

That seems impossibly broad? Usually the companies that do that are like megacorps with really strong IP. Like Disney or whatever.

It reminds me of Chris Roberts' Point of No Return Entertainment which failed terribly lol
