The title already said it: Runic Games got shut down yesterday.
There's a thread about it in the general forum.

Here's a news article from kotaku.co.uk about it.

Basically, their publisher, Perfect World will keep selling Runic's games, but it seems safe to assume that there will be no future updates for those games.

That's very disappointing. Hob is one of the very few games, that I not only finish, but I've finished it multiple times.

I think i'm on my 4th play through, finally found all the powers, I think all the health, maxed out the sword, opened all 5 sword doors, and found 23 out of the 24 butterflys...

I was so looking forward to an expansion pack, or Hob 2... Not to mention Tourchlight 3..

Bummer....

I came to the forum discussion looking for possible future Linux updates and found this. Runic was a great company, it's sad to see they're not around anymore...
