The team behind L.A. Noire, Team Bondi, are to be closed down. Based in Sydney, the company has been consistently rocked by controversial claims since the release of the game, with claims of awful working conditions led to a split between the developer and Rockstar, the publisher, meaning they were unlikely to work together on another game. A lack of acknowledgements of Team Bondi members in the L.A. Noire credits added to their problems.

According to IGN, the company officially went into administration on August 30th, after filing the paperwork to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
 
It is sad news, considering the ground-breaking achievements the team achieved in the facial animations of the characters within the game, I’m sure everyone wishes the team well in finding new jobs in the future.
