GamesIndustry.biz says Norwegian developer Funcom is "actively seeking
interested parties for discussions surrounding a possible investment,
acquisition, merger, or any other available options." They say the company has
debt to resolve by next June, but the
recent relaunch of
LEGO
Minifigures Online has fallen short of expectations. "The game is currently
not meeting internal revenue forecasts," Funcom said several weeks after the
re-launch. "This is mostly due to low sales on the PC platform. Sales on the iOS
platform have performed better, mainly due to the featuring in the Apple Store
during the launch week, but as the price point of the game on this platform is
lower, these additional sales are not enough to compensate for the low sales on
PC for the time being."
