    Take Two had 12,000+ employees so even 5% is a sizeable chunk. Seems like the neverending summer of game dev suffering isn't over yet.

    This is really interesting to me. I had no clue Take-Two was associated with Rockstar or GTA. I used to be really plugged into the industry, to the point I wanted to go to full-sail and work at Rockstar when I was graduating High School. The title "Grand Theft Auto maker" had me really confused at first.

    It's also staggering to me 5% of Take-Two is 600 employees. I'm honestly not sure if I should be impressed or disappointed of my ignorance here.
