A
Rhode Island news report says 38 Studios is in financial distress, and the developer founded by former major league pitcher Curt Schilling is in discussions with the state on how to stay afloat. "We're always working to keep Rhode Island companies solvent, and that's what we're doing with 38 Studios," said Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee. "We're working with 38 Studios on different issues. That's all I can report right now." 38 Studios moved to Rhode Island
in September after
securing $75 million in loan guarantees from the state. Their first game,
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, was released
in February, but the story cites NPD data saying the game has sold only around 410K copies across three platforms. Thanks

Eh? Schilling's number is 38 - What's so bad about that?
Anyway, despite the fact I hate MMO's and Schilling's studio was built to build them, I can't help being a little sad about this. The guy is such an enthusiastic fan of gaming; he even wrote a very good review of one of the Everquest expansions for PC Gamer. He got the gig because he and the EiC back then (Rob Smith) were EQ buddies. Not many high paid celebrities would be caught cavorting with the little people like that. |
