I had a very similar reaction.
He made it sound like (and maybe this is true) "Congratulations team, you've done well, we're successful, now we're going to lay you all off. Not even find you somewhere else in Take Two." The Game industry sounds a little harsh and even self-destructive right now.
But I'm sure something was left out...

Other Take-Two studios will be on hand to discuss opportunities within the company, and we’ll be hosting a recruiting day where we’ll be giving 3rd party studios and publishers a chance to hold interviews with departing Irrational staff.

That's different from what you'd expect at companies in virtually any other industry or category of tech.
