A story on MCV
(thanks
Frans) indicates the bad news just keeps getting worse for besieged
developer/publisher Acclaim, which looks to be entering its death throes with
some closing announcements:
The company earlier this week announced that
it was seeking additional funding, but warned that bankruptcy was a possibility.
Sadly, that now looks like being the reality.
Yesterday, the Acclaim Texas facility was closed and this morning the
publisher’s Manchester studio was shut down with a loss of 130 jobs. Meanwhile,
the European head office in Kensington is not answering its phones.
A announcement to NASDAQ is expected this afternoon.

Is this being blamed on BMX XXX?
And yes, they deserve this solely for not making a sequel to Re-Volt, the best arcade racing on the PC. (of course they don't deserve it, but the severity of the point remains.)
