Brian Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 $40M in CEO compensation. $460M to acquire Gearbox. Sure seems like it is in need of cost savings. Can’t imagine why anyone would choose to work for a game company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameDadGrant Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Cancels several projects? Besides GTA, what were they working on? Also, layoffs seem to be a common thing in the industry lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Take 2 is a huge publisher, they previously claimed to have over 30 games (obviously some would be annual releases of sports games) to be released before the end of 2026 FY. With, an additional 18 mobile games on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
