2K, Australia's Last AAA Studio, Closes Its Doors [Slashdot]

beaverdownunder writes 2K Australia, the Canberra studio that most recently developed Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, is closing its doors. The entire studio is closing, and all staff members will lose their jobs. "All hands are gone," said a source for Kotaku Australia. 2K Canberra was the last major AAA-style studio operating out of Australia. The costs of operating in Australia are apparently to blame for the decision. This raises questions as to the viability of developing major video games in Australia.http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=2K%2C+Australia's+Last+AAA+Studio%2C+C loses+Its+Doors%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1ywcBzb)h ttp://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F15%2F04%2F16%2F1646259%2F2k-australias-last-aaa-studio-closes-its-doors%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/15/04/16/1646259/2k-australias-last-aaa-studio-closes-its-doors?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
