Benzies har tidligere været præsident for Rockstar North, og har siden hen været producer på Grand Theft Auto-serien, siden den bevægede sig over i 3D. Han har også haft en hånd med i udviklingen af Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 og L.A. Noire.
Bekræftelsen af hans afsked kom via en meddelelse til Kotaku:
"We can confirm that Leslie Benzies went on sabbatical on September 1, 2014 and has decided not to return to work for the company. We are very grateful for Leslie's contributions to Rockstar over the last 15 years as we worked together to make some amazing games,"
"Leslie helped us build an incredible team that will continue to create great experiences for our fans. Leslie will always be a friend to the company and of course we are going to miss him but we wish him the absolute best for the future."
Ifølge rapporten hos Kotaku, er Aaron Garbut og Rob Nelson nu chefer hos Rockstar North.
