(thanks muff) is the BBC news article with the latest bad news for embattled
game developer Rage Software. The article details the company's financial woes
(
story), and goes on to offer this grim prognosis:
The
software company that makes the David Beckham Soccer Game has collapsed, with
the loss of 77 jobs.
Receivers have been appointed by Liverpool-based computer game firm Rage
Software, ending hopes that a rescue package could be put together.
The Liverpool-based firm is now likely to be broken up, and any new games it is
working on sold off.
The future of the remaining 85 staff will depend on the sale of the intellectual
property rights of games currently in development.
