johnnygoging: What in the hell? How did this studio go from such heights to such lows? Was it all just a fad of the Walking Dead followed by The Wolf Among Us?
It was expensive. I think that killed them when they started pumping out the formula and the novelty died. I did like that Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and I did want another one. Oh well. Maybe after Superman Rocksteady will make my Starlord Arkham game.
Their games were too similar with not enough variety in gameplay or story, and were too expensive for what they were.
The Walking Dead catapulted them to superstardom, and from what I understand, the games being similar were due to the exec that left recently, who was the main designer for the games for a very long time.
Couple too much similarity among games to more interactive games making a comeback, and backlash against heavily cinematic games in recent months, along with (rumored) poor management, and you have the makings of a studio closing very abruptly.
I am no business major, but I kind of saw this coming when that exec left several months back. I just didn't expect it so fast. He obviously had to know this was coming to take the train out of town as fast as possible, so to speak.
