Weekend Blaze May Impact The Publishing Division
January 23, 2006 - According to a blog posting by 2K Games’ Jason Bergman, the office building in New York City’s SoHo district which houses 2K Games, Global Star, and Joytech was damaged in a fire over the weekend. According to ABC News, the fire began at 10 PM Saturday night and quickly escalated to a five-alarm blaze. In his post, Bergman reports that the executive section of his office was particularly damaged. While Rockstar and Take-Two headquarters are located elsewhere in the city, Bergman guesses that the fire will "seriously impact" 2K Games. Though Take-Two’s Rockstar division handles big-name franchises like Grand Theft Auto, the 2K Games label is home to hot titles like Civilization IV, the 2K Sports series, and next-generation games like Prey and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Representatives for the company were not immediately available for comment. According to Bergman, the office is also a "veritable art gallery," housing works by Andy Warhol, Damian Hirst, and an original piece by Keith Haring.Source: www.ign.com
