Take-Two is facing financial setback, suffering a 28% drop in share value yesterday after the publisher announced it might not meet profit goals for next year. Outside analysts claimed accountability problems were partially to blame, along with poor performance of some game titles.

Well other than the Bioshock titles I could care less....
Didnt they have something to do with most GTA games also? I remember emailing Take 2 about GTa Vice City and San Andreas about some problems.
Buy now and sell after release of Bioshock 2?

NBA 2K10 is causing some fuss. It's still the best NBA simulation, but there are some major bugs in the game. There's already been a huge patch release and another one with a lot of fixes is scheduled for January I believe. There forums have a lot of complaints but I think it's hard to blame them so much when they have a short deadline to me. Not to mention that they seem to have made significant additions and changes.

Well they certainly didn't lose money on that. Seems like they made over $600 million the first week there. I guess that was 2008 though.

Sucks, Hope this does not effect Bioshock 2.
I hope they close, Bioshock was boring as heck and GTA IV was more like a GTA Clone than a real GTA Game.

Crazy talk. Pure crazy talk. Bioshock was fantastic and GTA IV was great, on xbox360.

Well Brutuz wishing a business would close because you don't like something they make or sell is incredibly moronic. What you are pretty much saying is, "I didn't care for those 2 games so you 100+ people all get to go home and tell your families they don't get to eat until you find another job."

Bioshock was extremely boring for me and GTA IV was great, but definitely not up to GTA standards.

Not my problem, is it? I'm saying that I don't care if they stop business.

I loved bioshock, but GTA4 was such a letdown for me. I feel so lied to by ign after buying that game on launch day. What crap.

Well he could be saying he cares a little but honestly it's not a big deal to him at all.

I never did finish Bioshock... but I did like what I played so I hope they stay on, or if they do get swallowed up that they still get to produce as a team.

I'm sorta curious about buying stock in them as well. For short-term investment at least.

Saying you hope they close because you didn't like two of their games (that were wildly popular), and saying you don't care if they go out of business are two very different things.

I'm going to extrapolate on your first statement, and ask: Who do you think you are? Are you so important that companies only deserve to exist if they make you - the tiny majority- happy?

Geez, you post at 5am and get a sentence wrong and they hang you here.


Considering nearly everyone I've met (In real life, at least) agrees with me or at least agrees with a lot of my points (All found Bioshock boring for different reasons and most thought similar about GTA IV)

I'm not important, I know that, I meant to say I don't care if they go out of business, but I had obviously had a late night and used the wrong wording.
