2K Games closing NYC office

west side is the best side!

SO will this mean delay for the release of Bioshock?! :'(

';...;' im gonna suck the Hell out of this game!!

Still My First and fav Oblivion

they dont make the games they produce them =)

What ever will help them to free up money. They make the best sports games...KEEP IT UP 2K!!! (Show EA that gameplay, not looks, are more important.)

What can i say, West Coast has a better view. They moving on up.

nooooo show the East Cost some love for god sakes! how come all of the best schools are on the East Coast yet all of the big companies choose to locate their HQs in Cali? LAME!

the're just goin there so they can smoke up some of them reefer sticks, i know i would

hey, going West is okay, at least the east still rule.

West is Best.

Ah well

that's sucks. i hope those artists and desginers were able to get positions elsewhere in the company, instead of being left out on the street without a job!

Stop spamming.

NYC is the greatest city in the world. But for gaming companies it seems the west coast is where its at, I guess because its closer to Japan/China/Korea, where all their computer parts & programs are made. :P

Moving to california = happier employees. Most people only dream of living here.

Zomg. I know there's no mention of this, but maybe Take-Two wanted to move west so it could like... open a Japanese office or something. You know, like how NOA's HQ is on the west coast.

Blast!

Umm. It' not like operating costs are small on the West Coast either. If they really want to save money, they should move to Wyoming, or whatever.

manhattan is the greatest place on earth. but it's hella expensive and not a thriving gaming center. this move is based on cost savings, primarily, but makes strategic sense, too. more of the gaming world is on the west coast. sucks to be forced out of paradise, tho.

"I Hate when the late show says that New York is the greatest city in the world, please.... U cant really make that claim unless u have visited every single city in the world. I been to New York and its not all that great, its always cold and i was bored 90% of the time when i was there. Leave cold ass New York and come to sunny Southern California and enjoy the beach, the mountains, the sun and the ladies." Yes, it's always cold, even in the summer. Idiot.

Every story has a rant in it. C'mon "New YORK SUCXZ I WAZ BO3RD AND STOFF" "WEETS COASET RULEUZ". You guys are really annoying.

Well closing studios is always sad, but the company needs to reconfigure this is the only way I guess.

i'd leave new york too. much smaller rats on the west coast.

Cant really blame them, the taxes in New York are bad. I'm guessing by doing this they're saving a ton in the high taxes of the welfare state.

It all comes down to this, when you adapt to a certain area you become attached to it. It really doesn't matter where the developer companies are, there just needs to be more on the east coast.

but y ! NYC is the best! lol

but y ! NYC is the best! lol It just better not affect the bioshock relase date!

The 2K Publishing brand's administrative and publicity offices are moving, not all of Take2 nor the actual devepers of the games are going West...people gotta read the article. Rockstar still has offices based in NYC and given they are focusing on revisiting liberty city its pretty clear they love NYC & Irrational Games (MA) and Firaxis (MD) will still remain based on the East Coast, so that's all I care about.

It's cuz they saw the new trailer for GTA. kidding of course.

hmm...... they could have just created another office to the west coast not move the entire 2k corporation there

That sucks! I was just getting ready to send them my demo reel!! Shoot, now I'll have to think about moving if I want to work for them.

throw ya hands up for the west coast, we grow the best ...... on the west coast! Anyone know what song thats from? message me if you have an answer

2K-Games is one of the coolest publishers around. Games like Bioshock, Oblivion. Take-Two is huge.

SO they are making a change from east coast to west coast. BIG DEAL!

Ah, the West Coast. The Beach Boys were right all the time!

West is Best.

Those poor people... Hardly relevant news!

no big... *sigh* when I saw an update I thought it was big but this is lame news.

lol oregon trail... i remember that game, classic! haha

Does anybody know where I can get a copy of Oregon Trail, im thinking about going west TOO!!!

The West is where its at for both the USA, and Canada Major Cities getting more major California in General(I'm not American) But cities in Canada that are getting bigger......are Vancouver but mostly Calgary, and Edmonton.

ok?

I don't think this really means much of anything. Take Two still owns the rights to all these franchises so a different studio will just be making the new iteration of these games.

Maybe this is the reason for no Darkness demo?

this is really hard to swallow, especially after the recent success, and they have a few highly anticipated games in the pipeline

is this good or bad news?
