Gearbox Software myytiin hiljan Embracer Groupilta 2K Interactivelle. Eurogamer välitti Gearboxin tiedon siitä, että firmaa järjestellään uudelleen. Tämä tunnetusti tarkoittaa potkuja. Jos oma työ ei ollut sidoksissa pelinkehitykseen, sai varmaankin potkut.
"As we strive towards our mission to entertain the world, we are grateful that our talent and capability are of interest to you and your audience. The Embracer Group will continue to report on their restructuring program that impacted some parts of Gearbox today that are not tied to the development of Gearbox Software games. Thank you for granting us the space to remain focused on our people and in our handling of the situation with compassion and manage the process, balancing between our present duty and a commitment to our future."
Muun muassa "PR Manager" Jennifer Locke sai lähdön.
