Bad news folks, but we knew this was coming.
Here's the official anouncement of the closing of Troika.

From Tim Cain:<blockquote>Today, the final nail was pounded into the coffin that holds Troika Games, LLC. Today could be considered the date of its closing, or you can pick from one of several dates:

February 28, 2005 - Troika Games closes its doors
September 30, 2005 - Troika Games files with the state for dissolution
December 24, 2005 - Troika Games files its final tax return (the last step in dissolution)

Pick your favorite date, kids. Thanks for your support, and good night.

Tim.</blockquote>

Sorry to add a sour note to your Christmas cheer.

Good luck Tim in your future endeavors!

Thanks Briosafreak and Dagon for the heads up.
 
Market Niche

Market Niche




""Hope"" this codependent commiseration will spawn the delusion of 'MARKET NICHE' in this fantasy realm of the mass entertainment industry, ... in the fevered dreams of corporate toadies. Wish in one hand, and jack of in the other, [all relevant channels of devotion] ... that the IntelliGent ForCe that shapes all consumables to the holy spirit of the MARKET, ... SHALL, will, bless this heretical schism as a ''Market Niche' worthy of seducing,pandering, deluding, coopting, and raping.

Remember the lyrics, ""Love hurts .. "'' and ""You only hurt the one you love ... "" are valuable Intellectual Properties that will bitch slap the poor, the lost, the humbled, the humiliated prey , into the honored complacency of " consumer". The meek shall inherit the dirt.

The Knights of Marketing shall sally forth in a Holy Grail Quest for the 'Once And Future' RPG. The visions of media and marketing priests shall send the conforming worthies to the primal strata of common denominators, the muddy bottoms.

Development capital shall never forth be blasphemed in QA. All shall be be devotional payola, eye ball seeking hooks in slick magazines, prime time television, and bandwidth pop ups.



The winds of the 'morrow, the scrolling elders of oblivion, shall report with sticks of fire, http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=10466 and these staves of magic shall emit the shaped charges of the hand held, may the 'wire' guide thee.. until one completes the laser upgrade quest in that tech tree to come.



Me thinks, that in these last 'daze that confuse' the heretical Darwinist construct will
wither, and fade to the shades of secular humanism that is Hell.
No redemption for the unrepentant RPG heretics, 'unreconstructed' dodos. Eternal extinction. Do not pass GO, do not collect in a post apocalypse, go straight to Hell.


All RPG's will devoutly wear the modifiers of INTELLIGENT [Marketing] DESIGN!

Now, on your knees, bow your heads, and open your wallets ...

May your dwarves be short, and their faces hairy,
May your elves be dorks, and their manners fairy,
Crawl inner city and suburban sprawl,
Kiss 'The RING' that binds them all ...

Kiss thy Precious ...

All kneel AND PAY for the next remake of 'Beau Geste', the next clone of ""Token's"" Trilogy.

All major credit and debit cards accepted ...


[fade in:''One ring, one special ring, one ring to find them and bind them and mind them, One RING that's the way it SHOULD BE"". (To the tune of "'One love"".)

Damn shame. I wonder if they'll turn their backs on PC games forever? I read some of them are working on board/card games now.
