Troika Games Closes

Voodoo Extreme has the story that talented development house Troika Games has closed its doors as a result of lack of funding for future projects. Rumours of their closure have circled for the last week or so, but today's announcement makes the closure official. Troika is best known for its table-top RPG adaptations, such as The Temple of Elemental Evil and games based on Vampire: The Masquerade. From the announcement: "We want to thank all of our fans for their support these past seven years, it has really meant a lot to us that there were people out there who enjoyed our games enough to create fan-sites and follow our progress as a company. But we especially want to thank all of our employees - we had the pleasure of working with the some of the most dedicated, hard working, creative people in the industry, and we really appreciate all that they did for Troika."

This is just a publicity stunt by Troika. They defied "impossibility" by finally releasing an actual "Temple of Elemental Evil" module, after decades of waiting for that unholy grail. Now they're just spending a year dead for tax purposes, before releasing a tabletop version of "Duke Nukem Forever".

Saving throw

Guess they failed the saving throw.
