In what first seemed like an amicable split, former Rockstar boss Leslie Benzies sued his former employer in April 2016. Benzies alleged he was unlawfully dismissed and was entitled to unpaid royalties in excess of $150 million. Now, the ex-GTA 5 producer has suffered a setback in his case against Take-Two, Rockstar, and Dan and Sam Houser. 

As outlined here, Benzies claims the three parties worked together to force him out of both the company and a profit sharing scheme that would have entitled him to an equal three-way split of the ever-growing crime sim series' revenue.
