Picture from Take Two cutting workforce?

Up to 400 Take-Two employees might soon end up laid off by the publisher. According to MCV’s sources, the company has to make some tough decisions as it prepares a restructuring effort that would improve the company’s finances. 20 per cent of its 2,000-strong global workforce would face the axe under the plans. While Take-Two denies that any development jobs are in jeopardy, they have confirmed that a corporate restructure is in progress. The firm’s next big release is the long-awaited BioShock 2, which has a global launch set for next week.

Good! I hope they go out of business altogether, and I’m doing my part by not buying Bioshock 2. They can take their DRM and shove it where symbiotic bacteria live…

Bioshock 2 will not have ANY install limits, and 15 Windows Live! activations, which is a Microsoft restriction, not a Take Two restriction. Tell me, do you still buy games from Electronic Arts? If you do, then you’re being a hypocrite by boycotting Take Two. EA has had *far* more titles with DRM than Take Two, and in fact have even been SUED over the DRM on Spore.

Not to mention that the article points out that they’re not cutting any development jobs. Sounds more to me like a consolidation of some of their offices to reduce the number of office staff required.

I don’t need my games to come with GFWL, which is not just DRM, but also bloatware. Let them remove that, and we’ll talk then.

As to EA, I don’t buy any game that I know has an intrusive DRM scheme, regardless of publisher.
