GTA Publisher Take-Two Reportedly Looking to Get Rid of Indie Label Private Division
Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two is reportedly trying to get rid of its indie label Private Division. This follows a series of studio closures and alleged mismanagement.
According to a new IGN report, recent studio closures have been quietly affecting the indie publisher.
Studio Closures and Layoffs
Most of Private Division staff were laid off at the end of April, leaving only a small team to support announced titles. These include Moon Studios' Early Access game No Rest For The Wicked.
Reported closures include:
- Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games
- Rollerdrome developer Roll7
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick claimed they didn't shutter those studios, but IGN reports Intercept is set to close officially on June 28, with Roll7 similarly winding down operations.
Accusations of Mismanagement
Sources accuse Take-Two of mismanagement, specifically calling out the company's chief strategy officer and Private Division head Michael Worosz for poor leadership.
One source said, "Take-Two could not care less about its employees."
Future of Private Division
After the layoffs in April, Private Division staff were reportedly told Take-Two would no longer support the indie label. This suggests Private Division is on the brink of being shut down.
Take-Two is reportedly looking to sell the indie label and the studios under it. Talks with Paradox Interactive to acquire Intercept have fallen through.
There has been interest from a private equity firm, facilitated by people connected to Moon Studios. This has raised concerns about the future of Private Division.
