The painful truth I see here is that a studio (sustainability debates aside) was let down by a backer at the last second.
Nobody here has a ledger with Curt's plans or long term goals, and it's not the first business I've seen fold because a bank/financial backer decided to pull out at the last second.
Given the bailout fiasco, I can't understand why this had to happen.
It's a shame really. Any sort of creative industry is going to help with culture, standard of living, etc. Choking that life out of your community is just bad business no matter what.

I do agree that Curt obviously hadn't planned well enough. As I've said in the past, little games bring little streams that form into your base income. Once that sustainability is established, then you're free to create anything you want (within reason).

Regardless, I feel it's a shame a company headed by such a passionate guy folded.
