L.A. Noire developer facing financial ruin
The company has gone into administration this week, according to documents filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, meaning the Sydney-based studio is fundamentally insolvent.
Australian law reserves bankruptcy for individuals only. Companies who are no longer financially viable are placed under the control of an administrator, and directors no longer have the authority to act for the company.
All of Team Bondi’s remaining assets were sold earlier this month to Kennedy Miller Mitchell (KMM), the multimedia company co-founded by Mad Max creator George Miller.
The gaming world closely followed the growing crisis at Team Bondi, following ongoing allegations of poor management, and unacceptable work conditions throughout the game’s lengthy seven-year development process.

The game was amazing.
You have no right to say its bad if you never even touched it.
Majority of reviews it got were positive, do some research before you comment. Your friends don't tend to be a reliable source for information.
I have to agree, this game was amzing. Though i though it was short story mode, still awesome.
