Supreme Cmdr Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Given that there were already rumors of them taking products and not paying the devs (e.g. Brad over at Stardock as reported here and another dev), news just broke that they quietly file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in August.
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Wow man, a lot of this sh*t is happening lately, i guess these are the effects of big companies growing stronger all the time, greedy publishers... and yeah, because of bad games too. IMO i think we'll have someone with a big monopoly over PC games (just look at EA) in the coming years. it really doesnt look good, especially for indie and small niche Developers.
Scrivener Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 But... but what is to happen to Goldenland? There are already so few RPGs... so few...

Yeah, and i am really thankful that you don't have to depend on publishers to stay afloat, the last i would like to see is 3000ad going down and with it my favorite franchise of Games. It seems hard enough already to survive in such a hostile Industry.
