[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63181, member: 1"] After news broke yesterday that Take-Two Interactive is [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/take-two-shutters-kerbal-space-program-2-studio-amid-layoffs']shutting down Intercept Games[/URL], players began review-bombing the studio's final project, expressing frustration and disappointment at the closure. Heading over to the [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/954850/Kerbal_Space_Program_2/']official Steam listing[/URL] for Kerbal Space Program 2, its [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/954850/Kerbal_Space_Program_2/#app_reviews_hash']most recent reviews[/URL] on Valve's digital storefront reveal they are "Mostly Negative." Further examining the recent reviews, you'll see dozens of players leaving notices for Kerbal Space Program 2, many expressing disappointment that Take-Two shut down the game's developer.

"Do not buy, modders will end up having to carry this if the community wants it." A Take-Two spokesperson reiterated in an email to IGN that "Private Division continues to make updates to Kerbal Space Program 2" and that the company has "no further comment" regarding the matter. The review-bombing comes less than a day after it was made public that Take-Two filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice in Washington State, revealing that it was closing a Seattle office and laying off 70 employees.
