Rockstar Cofounder Says Bye, Bye

His position remains unfilled

Looks like Rockstar's Terry Donovan is moving on to do bigger and better things, and is leaving GTA's publisher behind. After a short absence from the company in September,
he finally decided that he would be coming back.

This was confirmed to GameSpot by a Take-Two representative, and by the looks of it, they'll be needing a new managing director (or at least that would be normal). But you know that Rockstar is not exactly normal, so they will be continuing their activities without hiring a new person. Donovan's duties were that of handling publishing and marketing for the company's games (already on the market).

"Rockstar is a very robust organization and has tremendous depth. It has over 600 artists and developers, marketing people... Sam and Dan is the leadership now, along with Gary Dale. The roles have been filled", concluded the Rockstar representative.

I don't know if this will shake-up Rockstar is any way, but let's hope that they will keep on releasing great games. Just a quick reminder of titles launched by Rockstar over the years:
