Well we've got 7 more months to wait and see if it was the pink-haired landwhales who were fired, or did the firing.

With Alan Lewis, of Take-Two, saying:

We strive to make the world’s best entertainment properties by giving our best-in-class creative teams positive work environments and ongoing career opportunities. Our culture is focused on teamwork, excellence, and kindness. Rockstar Games terminated a small number of individuals for gross misconduct, and for no other reason. As always, we fully support Rockstar’s ambitions and approach.

I'm guessing since The Verge weren't too bothered by it all the equivalent of USAID money is still being used to pay of journalists and so the pink-hair landwhales are still in power.

A queen has their reign, and then xhe dies. It’s inevitable.
