[Vertigo]

Rockstar Vancouver (makers of Max Payne 3) closing its doors.

Looks like it's being swallowed up by Rockstar Toronto, employees have all been offered jobs there. I personally have one friend in the studio who isn't about to just pack up and move to the other side of the country...interesting to see what's gonna happen.

Curious timing. I wonder if MP3 didn't perform as well as they'd hoped?
Or maybe it was something that'd been planned for a while and it was just a case of waiting until they'd finished the game.

:edit: Worth noting that Relic Entertainment, another big developer in Vancouver, was recently gutted for financial reasons, despite creating the highly successful Dawn of War series.
