Shiny Acquisition Leaves Earthworm Jim Wriggling?

simoniker writes "Shiny Entertainment head Michael Persson has been talking about the company's recent acquisition by Foundation 9, the studio's existing IPs (including Earthworm Jim), and the company's future without either David Perry or Atari at the helm. Persson talks about the latest incarnation of Earthworm Jim, which Shiny was developing for PSP after quite a few previous speedbumps (among them EWJ co-creator Perry leaving and Doug TenNapel also becoming disassociated from the project): 'We were working on that, and we're not working on it anymore. But it's really up to Atari to make an announcement about that, I probably can't even make that statement officially, but obviously we're not working on it.' Back to the drawing board yet again?"

HAHAHA, classic.

Fanboys are so easy to manipulate. Look at you, posting your smug, little insulting reply. Just because I poked fun at your animated worm hero, and now you're up in arms. Got to love weak fucking minds, they provide me with more entertainment than any of the non-news on this site (and by the way, there's only 11 comments on your hero's story, including two of mine).

How does it feel to be used, bitch?
