The statement reads:
The lawsuit alleges that when Benzies tried to return to work from his sabbatical, he found his key to the building had been deactivated. After eventually being let in by security, he was then asked to leave the premises by the Rockstar North office manager. He also claims that the sabbatical wasn’t even his idea, but that he was encouraged to do so by the defendants.
This is at odds with Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick’s version of events where he stated back in February, “He’s decided not to return to Rockstar Games.” This is something Benzies denies.
The conflicting allegations don’t end there, however, with Rockstar and Take-Two filing a document stating Benzies left the company, “…without good reason.”
It looks like this one’s going to get messy.
