Take-Two CEO says he’s ‘not trying to be cute or difficult’ with vague answers about the fate of the Kerbal and OlliOlli studios, but is kind of being cute and difficult

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told IGN today that the company has not closed Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games or OlliOlli maker Roll7 despite a recent report that said the studios had been shut down.

“We didn’t shutter those studios, to be clear,” Zelnick told the site. “And we are always looking at our release schedule across all of our studios to make sure that it makes sense. So we are being very judicious because we are in the middle of a cost reduction program that we’ve already concluded and are now fully rolling out. We’ve announced that we’re saving $165 million in existing and future costs, but we haven’t shuttered anything.”
