2K Australia, the developer of the recent Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, will be closing down and leaving its numerous employees out of a job, according to a source at Kotaku Australia.

The Canberra-based studio, self-described as "Australia's only AAA developer" and who has been making games for over 14 years, will be shutting down due to exorbitant operating costs for the studio in Australia, which doesn't bode well for the games industry in the country.

Kotaku - Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin runs at a terrific frame rate, and its great! Unfortunately, that introduces a glitch that degrades your weapons really fast, and From Software doesnt seem to care. Weapon degradation is not new to the Souls games. Its possible to induce degradation by hitting dead bodies or striking the games environment. Even in Demons Souls, weapons could break after enough use, and certain spells were designed to purposely break your weapons really quickly. Most weapons arent broken forever, though, as blacksmiths can easily repair them.
