Short story: Leslie was one of the head honchos at R* North. With him gone, R*'s games will never be the same in quality or scope. He had incredibly high standards and always made the push for small details. It was announced back in January that he left R* games, but now with this news, he's definitely never returning. He attempted to return to work April last year, and found that his key card was deactivated, and was escorted out by security without reason.

R* was apparently deceptive and blocked him from returning. The Houser brothers banked millions from the contract Leslie was supposed to get, which appears to be one of the possible main reasons. 

Additionally, here's the court document for any of you interested in all the juicy details:

Edit: It just keeps getting better and better.

Good for him, hope he milks every last cent he can.

Well at least we got GTA 5 =/

I remember Leslie Benzies from the into credits of GTA SA, if my memory serves me right. So he reminds me of an extremely good game, one of the best R* ever did. Hope he'll get what he deserved for his job.

While Rockstar Games brings us some of the best games in the Industry. They deserve this, Karma's a bitch. Money Grabbing Rockstar.

 

It's Rockstar. He'll end up with this instead.
