Deleted User	They didn't only do Adventure games, they also did strategy games. Indeed, East India Company was one of them, about to be released soon, and I was panicking the game would be scrapped. Luckily it's still going to be published- now by Paradox interactive. Sword of the Stars was another very enjoyable strategy title from a while back. I must say I am very sad, as I really liked the games they published. :'(

This is symptomatic of the whole current economic situation, in the UK many small businesses are going under because they are sub-contracted or act as suppliers to larger businesses that are either not in a position to pay them or are holding off paying them for as long as possible Just a sad and cynical state of affairs..

I can only imagine that it would be in a developers best interest to make sure that they still control their IP in a region in the event that the publisher goes under. In which case they can still sell the game themselves or find another publisher.
