Official Review Bombing Leads To Revenue Loss, Says Takes Two Boss

[Gwenievre]

Here’s what Take-Two’s leadership team wrote in the recent SEC filing that was shared by Game File’s Stephen Totilo:

Furthermore, obtaining and maintaining high ratings of our games on the third-party platforms on which we operate are important as they help drive players to find our games. If the ratings of any of our games decline or if we receive significant negative reviews that result in a decrease in our ratings, our games could be more difficult for players to find or recommend. In addition, we may be subject to negative review campaigns or defamation campaigns intended to harm our ratings. Any such decline may lead to loss of players and revenues, additional advertising and marketing costs, and reputation harm.
