Not playing any GTA games, but I just do some testing.
And it seem like it is Take Two blocking TM IP address, because the traceroute look fine for me.

So both reach the same final IP address that respond to traceroute, or TCP(port 80) traceroute.
But TM IP address unable to open that website, while SG one can.
I can conclude that someone is using TM network and performing something like DDOS or hacking? to the Take Two server, so they just block the IP range for safe?
Unless you want to say that, TM is not blocking ICMP or TCP, but just web browsing traffic to Take-Two Interactive server.
