Report: Disgruntled Employee Criticises 2K For Interfering With Development & Ruining TitlesA blog post from a supposed ex-employee at Irrational Software could have shed some light on the goings-on behind closed doors at 2K.
A story from an alleged ex-Irrational Games staffer claims that 2K made a whole load of questionable choices that lead to the closure of 2K Australia, and the removal of creative control from certain studios in order to work on IPs that 2K designed themselves.
According to this post, it all began with The Bureau: XCOM Declassified - a concept pushed hard by 2K but when the sales came back in a bad shape, it was 2K Marin that had to close as a result.
2K Australia was the next on the chopping block, being shut down after Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel didn't live up to the standards set by its predecessors.A blog post from a supposed ex-employee at Irrational Software could have shed some light on the goings-on behind closed doors at 2K.

2K Australia was the next on the chopping block, being shut down after Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel didn't live up to the standards set by its predecessors.This should all be taken with a pinch of salt, however: Bioshock Infinite’s level designer Steve Lee has tweeted “Discussion and observations among many ex-Irrationals indicate this is very very likely to be fake, fyi" and there's a lot of online commentary that seems to agree with this consensus.
Duke Nukem creator George Broussard shared the post on Twitter account, too, saying, “2K is a really shitty company. Someday I will write up how evil they were to us.” That seems to back up the writer, but as with anything of this nature, just be aware it could be a massive hoax.
