    That’s a shame. They’ve been around for a good while now and produced a good run of point and click style adventure games. They took the wrong path with Gollum though.

    So sad all the devs lost their jobs thanks to awful management decissions, it should be the higher ups stepping down

    I get it, the game wasn’t exactly a success. But isn’t it a bit drastic to dismantle an entire division?

      Yeah, I think it’s a bit drastic too. If anything maybe the employees are being shuffled around to other dev studios?
