As investors ask about GTA 6 and AI, Take-Two CEO once again puts faith in dev creativity, states making hit games "remains the purview of human beings"

Today, as part of Take-Two Interactive Software's Q2 2027 earnings call, Strauss Zelnick fielded questions from investors after presenting the financial results of the company. One caller was concerned about AI - specifically about the proliferation of AI-powered compilations and decompilations that have been raising piracy concerns for publishers over the past few weeks. Zelnick notes that "[the video games] business has been largely immune to piracy" thanks to factors like file size, how console ecosystems work, and aspects related to the online nature of the games industry.
