 |
|
Acclaim, one of the oldest game producers in the industry, filed for a bankruptcy last Thursday. They have had a lack of good titles in the market for a long time. Their latest games like “Turok: Evolution” & “BMX XXX” have turned out to become big flops. This was their last option as they could not settle new financing. |

| Not entirely correct... Their latest game was Juiced, kind of a Need for Speed Underground clone. This one was bought by another software company... |

It's a shame I kind of liked acclaim, hey...that rymes, but it's true their last number of titles where just not up to it. I hope they're not sucked up by some mindless production factory like EA or ubisoft
"resistance is futile, we are dork, you will be assimilated and only produce mediocre first person shooters that we overhype and cash in on"
...oh wait they already tried that themselves...oh well, it's not that bad you get to wear a cool laser where your right eye used to be... |
