Employees flee Rockstar

All is not well


By Nick Farrell: Monday 10 July 2006, 07:23

 GAMING OUTFIT Rockstar is facing a migration of employees and a round of cost-cutting just as it has to deal with an FTC investigation.
The outfit, which is being investigated over secret sex scenes that appeared in the game, seems likely to see two of its employees investigated by the police. It has recently closed closed two studios—Rockstar Vienna and Indie Built.

According to GameDaily BIZ, it seems that some staff think they are seeing the writing on the wall for the company and have fled. Others are falling victim to a fairly vicious round of cost cutting.

In six months or so, the outfit has lost Jamie King, VP of Development, two marketing directors, and and a huge chunk of its PR department including Spinners Jeff Castaneda, Chris Carro, Todd Zuniga, and Ryan Rayhill.

King was one of the more important losses as he was one of the company founders. Analysts do not seem to be concerned, most of them would be more worried if they saw the outfit's developers cleaning out their desks. The gutting of the PR and marketing departments was probably cost-cutting, they say. Of course you don't need marketing and PR bods when you are just about to be taken to the cleaners for peddling sex games to minors do you?
