Rockstar not going to work with Team Bondi anymore?
Posted on Tuesday, 5 July 2011 by Speed, source: Gamesindustry.biz
Rockstar Games apparently doesn't like Team Bondi's working conditions too much.
Two former members of the development studio have come forward and stated that although Rockstar Games published L.A. Noire, the publisher isn't planning on working with the development studio any further due to the outrage that was caused when the studio's working policies became public knowledge.

"I've heard a lot about Rockstar's disdain for Team Bondi, and it has been made quite clear that they will not publish Team Bondi's next game," said an ex member of staff at the Australian studio.
"Team Bondi are trying to find another publisher for their next title, but the relationship with Rockstar has been badly damaged - Brendan treats L.A. Noire like a success due to his vision but I think Rockstar are the ones who saved the project. They continued to sink money into LA Noire, and their marketing was fantastic. Without their continued support, Team Bondi would have gone under several years ago."
Such a step from a company like Rockstar would definitely send out a clear message to development studios: "Treat your people well or you may end up out of business.""Team Bondi are trying to find another publisher for their next title, but the relationship with Rockstar has been badly damaged - Brendan treats L.A. Noire like a success due to his vision but I think Rockstar are the ones who saved the project. They continued to sink money into LA Noire, and their marketing was fantastic.
