Electronic Arts Drops Splinter reports The Adrenaline Vault News, saying "Electronic Arts has dropped the 3D shooter, Splinter, from its product slate. Caz Derby, associate producer at Australian-based Stromlo Entertainment on the project, said the title is still in full development and 'so close to beta, [they] can smell it.' However, Stromlo is in the process of shopping the project around for a new publisher." GA-Source's What Happened with Splinter and EA is a brief Q&A with Stromlo that discusses this, saying this was the result of "The low sales of the latest Descent episode" and EA having "lowered their priority on all PC products - in particular the 3D flying shooter genre. Unfortunately, that meant Splinter had to go."
