With NBA 2K11 right around the corner, developer 2K Sports has dropped “approximately 30 positions.” 

In order to properly align its resources with its current and future goals, and to continue to develop games as efficiently as possible, 2K Sports has eliminated approximately 30 positions at its Visual Concepts studio.

These reductions will not affect 2K Sports’ ability to create and deliver AAA titles, including its upcoming release of NBA 2K11"

- Alan Lewis, VP of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs at Take-Two

While I’m happy to see NBA 2K11 unaffected by this recent downturn, it’s never good to see those laid off due to the poor economy.  The best of luck to those seeking new employment.
