Arcen games, the makers of AI War and Tidalis, haven't been doing well financially and might go bankrupt if that doesn't change.
More details here:

This is one of those few epic indie devs that make games you'd never think you'd see in this day and age. I highly recommend that people at least check their games out and see if it's something you might like. Be warned though, AI War might not look that impressive on the first glance, but like many of the games here at GoG, it's an aquired taste. :)
And if you're already a fan of their games, help spreading the word, there's no abundance of unique developers today and we need to support those who make innovative games!
Edit: I'm adding links to reviews and videos to make it easier for you guys. :)
AI War:
quick description - epic space rts & turret defence mix, you play long and epic campaigns against an unusually cunning AI, coop for up to 8 players possible

Tidalis:
quick description - block puzzle game with interesting mechanics for once :p

I can only speak for myself, but I recommend both titles warmly.
