There has been lots of trouble surrounding L.A. Noire developer Team Bondi. First workers noted that certain people were left off the credits list, now it seems Team Bondi is about to be bought out by Kennedy Miller Mitchell, a Sydney-based production studio that works across a range of media, including games.
Team Bondi has been in the news alot lately due to development problems with L.A. Noire as well as the fact that certain workers were left off the credits roll at the end of the game. It is even said that Rockstar Games developers had to step in to save the game.
There are rumors that Team Bondi went bankrupt, or that KMM simply just bought the studio. No official documents have been made available to the public, but the word on the street is Brendan McNamara will be joining KMM too. Many of the complaints filed against Team Bondi had to do with McNamara's unrelenting crunch demands, so I'm sure many of the staff will not be too pleased about this.
The company has supposedly offered a job to every worker of Team Bondi though that is still a rumour. Do note however that the PC version of L.A. Noire remains unaffected by this development as the PC version is currently being developed by Rockstar Leeds.
We have contact Team Bondi to confirm this story though yet no official statement has been made.
