Our mixed metaphor headline comes from a report on
Polygon saying Too Human developer Silicon Knights is down to its
last few employees as they have closed down operations. Sources tell them the
studio laid off most of its staff last summer, and has now closed its office and
sold off its remaining assets. Their attempts to contact the studio by phone
have failed, and they believe the company's main number has been disconnected,
though CFO Mike Mays tells Polygon that the few remaining employees are
"very busy" and the studio is "definitely alive." Silicon Knights' fate was
sealed about a year ago
when Epic Games won a $4.45 million award from the company in a dispute over
Unreal Engine support in a lawsuit that was
actually initiated by Silicon
Knights. Polygon notes that many of the company's assets were sold to
Precursor Games, founded by former Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack, a move
that has inspired scrutiny from Epic, in spite of that not seeming fishy in the
least. Precursor Games is currently attempting a
Shadow of the
Eternals Fundraiser for a spiritual successor to Silicon Knights'
Eternal Darkness. Polygon quotes a Canadian bankruptcy attorney saying Silicon
Knights has not filed for bankruptcy.
