Jiang Chen originally intended to directly buy the two studios, but there was a minor incident during the acquisition process.
There was no problem with Maxis since EA was only second to Microsoft, the studio killer. The giant Maxis series studios were cut countless times, and Future Technology was more than willing to acquire the studios just as they were ready to swing their knives. They were happy with the deal and sold Maxis Studio at a premium of 20 million US Dollar.
Rockstar was a bit more difficult.
The parent company of Rockstar was Take Two, and its operation wasin good condition. GTA VI: Return to Liberty City, which launched in June 2017, continued the glory of GTA V and expanded the map from California to New York and included one European city. The map more than doubled in size compared to the previous game. GTA VI easily reached sales volumes of 40 million copies across all platforms.
