Troika indeed in trouble

Andrew Meggs former Lead Programmer for Bloodlines posted this statement in our forums:<blockquote>Everyone's talking about what the ex-Troika people are going to do. The reality is that for the past several months Troika has been on a skeleton crew. The real layoffs happened in two waves at the start and end of November, and a lot of people have already moved on. I know of ex-Troika people working for all of these companies:

Activision
Day One Studios
Mythic Entertainment
Obsidian Entertainment
Point of View (2)
Seven Studios (2)
Sony (2)
Supervillains (2)
Swinging Ape
Tiger Hare (2+)
Turtle Rock
Treyarch</blockquote>This is sad news indeed, what's going on at Troika now is anyone's guess. One theory is that Troika might not have been paid for the last milestone (and final build) of the title's development, which could explain things.
 
That's a bloody shame. I hope this doesn't mean that we're looking at an end to diversity in RPG developers.
 
There goes my hope that it was just a rumor. Good luck to everyone there, hope all of you land on your feet.
 
What's going to happen to their nice-looking no longer upcoming PA game? I liked the screenshots.
 
Assuming Troika doesn't dissolve itself, it'll probably float around in limbo until somebody thinks the title is worth the investment, or it vanishes into obscurity.
 
That's a bloody bloody shame. I can only hope that those Vampire royalties will come in soon enough.

Good luck to everyone, at least.
