作為Rockstar遊戲母公司Take-Two的首席執行官，施特勞斯·澤爾尼克此前在公開場合透露，他本人甚至不是一名遊戲玩家，更不會去玩備受全球期待的《GTA6》。
澤爾尼克直言：「我不玩電子遊戲。我認為，在娛樂行業擔任CEO，卻把自己當成『首席消費者』，這很可能是一種錯誤。我的職責是吸引、留住並激勵行業內最優秀的人才，然後不干預他們的工作，讓他們放手去做。」
The CEO of Rockstar’s parent company, Strauss Zelnick previously revealed that he isn’t even a gamer and won’t play GTA 6: 「I don’t play video games. I think being the consumer-in-chief in an entertainment business as the CEO is probably a mistake. My role is to attract, retain and motivate the best talent in the business and then get out of their way.」
這番表態一經曝光，瞬間引發全球遊戲玩家的集體「狂噴」。有網友怒懟：「連自己公司的招牌遊戲都不玩，憑什麼掌舵遊戲帝國?」「不懂遊戲的人管遊戲，難怪《GTA6》跳票不斷」;雖然有一些支持者認為是明智之舉，術業有專攻。
This guy is reatded if he thinks he can decide who can make the game if he doesn't k ow about the game.
Smart take honestly. A CEO who stays out of the creative kitchen and just hires the best talent is exactly why Rockstar keeps cooking Let the devs do what they do best.
但大多數網友反駁：「嘴上說重視人才，連人才在做什麼都不了解，怎麼分辨誰是人才呢?」，還有玩家吐槽「哈哈哈，一個不嘗菜的廚子」。
How do you know who the best talent is if you have no understanding of what the talent is doing. You wouldn't apply this to literally any other industry.
Lmao wat. This is like a chef that doesn't taste his own food 💀 You can still be the big boss, play the game and not get in the way of the cooking
