2K Offically Announces 2K Marin, New Studio Reportedly Formed by Ex-BioShock Staff
by Chris Faylor, Dec 17, 2007 7:38am PST2K Games owner Take-Two Interactive has officially announced the creation of 2K Marin, a new development studio located at 2K's new headquarters in Novato, California.
Said to be creating original intellectual properties as well as assisting with other 2K projects, 2K Marin is reported to be made up of some ex-BioShock (PC, X360) staff. BioShock was developed at 2K's studios in Australia and Boston, a tag-team formerly known as Irrational Games.
"We're focused on continuing to bring new brands and cutting-edge gameplay to market with the creation of the 2K Marin studio," said 2K president Christoph Hartmann. "2K Marin will build upon our success in creating and leveraging AAA franchises."

It screams bean-counting fuckhead management, not creative studio full of bright people.
Why can't they give these studios more interesting names? They might as well label them Asset_#2452.4 and be done with it.
