Companies bought all the rights to their games (or the majority anyway) it's not like you're not going to see those games made anymore. It just might not be by the same people, and that's not always a bad thing.

Indeed. Wasn't that the game you could do the assplunge on people?

Also 3D Realms suffered this fate awhile back, so not A big surprise.

~ Scary Sir?

~ "implying" that I'm on a - 'bad side' - of things (again)?

The story is - 'the typical one' - for such companies, any company (really)...
its only a matter of time, when things like this occurs, so its not surprising at all.

So...

Interesting how - 'Atari' - continued, after what occurred with it in the 1980's... and (again) currently with the situation that was - REPORTED - just a day ago.

On a unrelated/related (sequence):

All companies shown in the film - "Blade Runner" - are supposedly - (cursed) - since they advert'd on the film, ALL have gone the same route, - Bankruptcy - since they were shown in the film.

Just an example of - 'what, can, and will' - happen under any circumstances and is just plain old business's doing what they have to do...
