A few weeks ago the controversy became big within Take Two, given that the company had announced that it would be laying off 5% of its workforce, that is, about 600 people would be leaving their positions to take a new path in the industry. And within the documentation it was said that two of the victims of this restructuring were Roll7the London-based developer behind OlliOlli and Rollerdromeand Intercept Games.
However, the CEO of the company, Strauss Zelnick, has hinted that this will not be the case. Here what was mentioned:
To be clear, we did not close those studies. And we’re always looking at our release schedule across all of our studios to make sure it makes sense.
So we are being very cautious because we are in the middle of a cost reduction program that we have already concluded and are now fully implementing. We’ve announced that we’re saving $165 million in current and future costs, but we haven’t closed anything.
They have even been asked if they still exist then. He answered the following:
What we said is, in the 8-K filing that we put out, we talked about the cost reduction plan of approximately 5% reduction in headcount worldwide, but we didn’t provide a tag-by-tag breakdown of what that looks like. .
We haven’t provided any additional colors beyond what I just said.
It is worth mentioning that representatives of Roll 7 They still don’t mention anything about whether they are still active or not.

Author’s note: It’s very suspicious that they didn’t say anything else. It is possible that they have done a personnel merger and not closed as is. We will have to wait and see what happens in the future.
