Another part of the "rockstar mystique" is who received the billions of dollars in "internal royalties" that has been diverted from the revenue stream over the years. Wikipedia mentions a legal dispute between 3 people (2 Housers and Benzies) splitting royalties, so I assume that normal employees see little to none of it. The secretive weirdness and unfairness of the whole thing convinced me not to own their parent company stock (take-two interactive).
