- Despite threats from AI-driven game cloning and console jailbreaks, Take-Two remains focused on protecting Rockstar's intellectual property and ensuring a smooth official launch.
- Rockstar plans to continue supporting GTA Online post-launch, and Take-Two expects a shift toward faster content delivery and more frequent releases from Rockstar in the future.
