Employee Exodus at Rockstar Games?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

hammersuit writes "GameDaily Biz is reporting on recent troubles at Rockstar Games. 'A difficult console transition, FTC investigation, re-rating of GTA: San Andreas and more have put Rockstar and Take-Two in an unenviable position. We've received word that in addition to people who left because of studio closures, even more either fled or quit. Are Rockstar employees jumping ship or is this just a result of cost-cutting at Take-Two?'"

    Come on, after releasing a game like TABLE TENNIS, if employees there are leaving because of anything, it's because they got bored silly programming pong all over again.

    Yes, I know the came's supposed to be incredibly good and realistic, but it's a drastic turn from what they'd been doing no matter how you see it.

    ...Rockstar's HQ is next to a killing spree spawn point.

    I bet the remaining Rockstar employees hunted them down, drove over them, beat them up with baseball bats and stole their money.
