Focus on:
1T2 said he hadn't closed the studio
Take-Two's recent layoffs have been confirmed to have affected OlliOlli World developer Roll7 and Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games. When asked by IGN on the latest financial call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick responded: "We haven't closed these studios.
He explained that "the company has been looking at the release plans of all our studios to make sure they are justified", and then he continued: "So we are very cautious because we are implementing a cost-cutting program that has ended and is now in full swing. We've announced that we're saving $165 million in current and future costs, but we're not closing any divisions. Confused by the response, IGN pressed Zelnick to see if he was denying Bloomberg's report that both studios had closed. That's when a PR rep chimed in, "What we're saying is that in the 8-K document that we released, we talked about a cost-cutting plan to cut about 5% of our workforce globally, but we didn't break it down on a label-by-label basis."
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier has now responded, adding an interesting fact: in 2013, Strauss Zelnick's company shut down BioShock 2 developer 2K Marin, but did not admit it and acted in a press release as if the studio still existed, when in reality it didn't.
2 GTA 6 will be released in the fall of 2025
Take-Two announced the latest release window for GTA6 in its latest earnings report, saying that its current expectations are based on the new date. When asked by IGN if he was concerned that GTA 6 could be delayed, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said. "We are indeed very confident that we will deliver GTA6 in the fall of 2025,"
3Google adds a special easter egg to celebrate Minecraft's 15th anniversary
To celebrate Minecraft's 15th anniversary, Mojang has partnered with Google to add an easter egg to the Google search engine, allowing users to mine as if they were in the game. To experience this easter egg, users must search for Minecraft, Minecraft Bedrock Edition, Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Steve, or any other version of the game. Once you have done this, a small Minecraft icon will appear on the screen as a button. Clicking on it will bring Steve's hand to the screen, allowing the user to dig through a specific part of the browser page, and if they want to exit, click the X at the bottom of the screen.
4. Players repeatedly edit the Assassin's Creed: Shadows Black Protagonist wiki entry
Twitter user Sallymander40k said that he had discovered that Yasuke's Wikipedia had been changed more than 50 times on the day of the game's announcement, and that the main point of controversy surrounding the war around his entry was: Was Yasuke ever granted samurai status as an exception? The two sides disagreed on this and repeatedly revised their terms.
