Take-Two cans Borderlands Online — 150 people lose jobs as 2K China studio closes

Take-Two Interactive has shut down a 150-person game studio in China and stopped development on Borderlands Online, which would have been a free-to-play online game in the Asian market. The move is another sign that taking Western games and developing them for the Chinese market is a tough and expensive task.

China has become the major gaming market in the world, with about $15 billion in sales across online and mobile games, according to market research reports.
