Rockstar Games' family tree took a hit with Terry Donovan's resignation from the company. GameSpot received the confirmation from a Take-Two Interactive rep that Donovan took a leave of absence from the company in September. However, that leave turned out to be permanent as he decided last month that he would not be coming back.

Donovan was the managing director and co-founder of the publishing label for the controversially famous GTA series. However, the representative did stress that most of Donovan's duties have already been dealt with. These would include the publishing and marketing of their games. "Rockstar is a very robust organization and has tremendous depth. It has over 600 artists and developers, marketing people...The roles have been filled."

Replacing Donovan as Rockstar's COO, is Gary Dale, Capcom's European managing director.
