In 2016, the former president of Grand Theft Auto V studio Rockstar North launched a lawsuit against Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, claiming he is owed $150 million in royalties and alleging that he was forced out of the company. Things aren't looking great for Leslie Benzies in this case, as the New York Supreme Court recently ruled that the profit-sharing agreement that Benzies signed does not in fact entitle him to the full amount of damages he wanted to receive.

According to the ruling (via GI.biz), Take-Two successfully claimed that Benzies breached the royalty agreement he signed with the company in 2009, and is thus may not be entitled to the money. In 2012, Benzies because a Rockstar Principal for this contributions to Rockstar's big games over the years. However, the Supreme Court noted that the language of the 2009 royalty plan "contains no language mandating equal payments to the principals." Moreover, the terms of the agreement are "unambiguous" and are not overwritten by the 2012 agreement Benzies signed.
