I created the link for "Deep Cover (Game)" but I can't create the page because of restrictions. If someone does create the page, you should consider using pictures from this link -[1]. The link is good as of March 18, 2006 & contains probably the most pictures anyone is ever going to see of this long-since cancelled game.
Also, this is a link where someone briefly talks about both Deep Cover & The Lost -[2]. Enjoy. -68.118.192.3914:50, 18 March 2006 (UTC)-[reply]
Boston and Canberra studios are co-creating BioShock—Precedingunsigned comment added by84.109.48.17 (talk •contribs)
Should this article be either split into 2, or moved into 2K Games article? The teams are now part of a larger company and are separate entities. --86.155.20.5120:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This article states Irrational Games was briefly known as 2K Boston and 2K Australia, but Irrational Games is now JUST the boston developers. The Australia developers are still 2K Australia.[3]65.112.20.22 (talk)18:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing as how the boston developer is named Irrational Games, The canberra developer is named 2K Australia, and Ken Levine has stated they are working on seperate projects, it might be a good idea to turn this page into "Irrational Games, LLC", with a new "Irrational Games" page seperate from a new "2K Australia" page which can both refer to "Irrational Games, LLC" for information about the studios pre-buyout.[4]76.24.118.33 (talk)12:48, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've clarified this article and the2K Marin article in the wake of 2K Australia not being renamed back to Irrational, and then being merged into 2K Marin instead, based on the above article plus[5]. Better?Crispy (talk)11:55, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So according to this:http://irrationalgames.com/studio/careers/ Irrational are hiring again. Does this mean that the studio has been subject to some strange necromancy and we can safely say that it's no longer defunct and is instead functioning as some slimmed down entity or something? I know conjecture isn't our business, but defunct businesses typically don't hire programmers and IT personnel.— Precedingunsigned comment added by68.184.99.85 (talk)20:14, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They (Irrational Games team) are closed. But, Take-Two didn't delete the studio website. Unlikely 2K Australia and 2K China.Tanisho4Real (talk)12:27, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any info on thatBlackbird256 (talk)10:52, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Irrational games shut down in 2014.[1][2] Ghost Story is a new company founded by ex members of Irrational.[3] Some websites have reported this as a rebrand/restructure but that does not seem to be accurate to how this is seen internally. From the FAQ on the Ghost Story website:[4] "The Irrational Games studio was closed in 2014.", "The studio was founded by a group of former Irrational Games developers," "As a new studio we are excited to be working on our maiden game!"
The two developers should have separate pages in the same manner asLooking Glass Studios was a separate article to Irrational.

The article currently claims that GSG is located inWestwood, MA, and the website also lists (though also just) aPO box address in that location. However, according to the company filing, it is located inQuincy, MA. Are there any additional sources on the matter?Lordtobi (✉)21:35, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Shafj00 andLordtobi: Please stop edit warring and discuss. Present sourcing as to whether GSG is organized under Take Two directly, or under 2K games. GSG is not a new corporate entity, so it likely matches how Irrational was. Legal documents should be able to show this. --ferret (talk)18:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking about this a bit, and although the lines are still blurred, I think 2K shouldnot be put as immediate parent unless we have to sourcing to back this up (because currently, we do for neither parent). First of all, when Irrational started restructuring, Levinestated that he wished to start a "smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor atTake-Two" (emphasis mine). When the rebranding came about, Ghost Storymade the appearance as if it was a completely new foundation, rather than a rebranding.
Previously, it has been stated that, because the company (the legal entitiy also) has "just" been rebranded, 2K would still be the legal parent, however, Take2's legal subsidiaries are of a flat hierachy, with all being on the same level under Take2 as Rockstar, 2K and others are (see Take2 annual report subsidiary listings). Irrational was previously a subsidiary-by-management to 2K, but this does not seem to be the case anymore. 2K also does not list GSG's job offerings.[8] This would add up to the absence of any 2K branding on GSG's website, the absence of GSG's logo on 2K's website and the rather weak "self-publishing" claim (although the studio is yet to publish a game).
