WolfPack Studios, the guys who made Shadowbane (a crappy MMORPG), will be closing their doors. The reason?

Parent company UBISoft is said to instead be redirecting their company's focus to next-gen platforms.

I think closing off an office to focus on next gen platforms makes for a sad day.

Edit: more informative title (Per)

Closing one trend studio to chase the next trend (console releases are always trend) just speaks ill of UbiSoft's direction, but then again, I haven't been that thrilled with their craptacular line of recent FPS/3PS games, and Shadowbane was a money pit.

My memory might need to be refreshed, but even from skimming Mobygames, the only thing I've seen of note recently in any good context might be Splinter Cell and a NA publishing deal for Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

The name made me think for a minute that they might have done Silent Hunter 3, but they didn't.

As long as they don't stop releasing good simulation games, like IL2 Sturmovik and SH3, I don't really care what they do.

No Joke. I was even annoyed in R63 when they dumbed down the mission planner even though R63 was an awesome game.

Hah...

Join the crowd my friend. It was a great game, but it was WAY too dumbed down for simplicity, rather than extensive gameplanning and strategy.

Damn shame that is...
