It’s closing, but the team still exists at another site, that is all… no staff lost.
Infact moving to the new location, they are expecting to expand in numbers.

Two Words that explain the reasoning for the closure and move : TAX BREAK
Rockstar probably had planned this to happen even tho Max Payne 3 isn’t selling well, mostly because its cutscened up the arse.

But it isn’t a small thing for your work to move cities is it? Surely most employees wouldn’t be able to follow the company because they have their lives and families in Vancouver?

The moments of gameplay in the game, were amazing. Little bit to much fluff in-between, unfortunately.

“you can keep your job, if you move across the country” yeah, not a simple decision to make.

This is a studio that on average was putting out a GTA game every 18 months, but for the last 3 years we’ve had nothing (although in all fairness – RDR is a spiritual cousin to GTA)If I were Take 2 Interactive I’d be losing my patience with this mob. Although their last two games have sold well, when you compare the amount of money probably spent making them – then they probably didn’t sell well at all.
