I haven't seen the numbers on Gorg, but to my knowledge tower defense games aren't blockbusters by any stretch. Combine that with the miserable failure that was Shattered Horizon, and I'm trying to figure out what they think they've accomplished? If the goal was to snap up 3d talent, well, they got that in spades. If the goal was to buy a successful game studio that could take them into places they were unable to reach on their own, I see disappointment in their future. Angry Devs?
