After reading that Iron Lore (for those who don't know it's the guys who made Titan Quest) is closing down, I have to admit my whole day has been spoiled. :(

Ever since Immortal Throne, I've been waiting, pondering what they were planning next. Then I heard they were working on Dawn of War Soulstorm. So I hoped that after Soulstorm they would go back and develop a Titan Quest follow up or something but those hopes are now shattered and is lying in a million little pieces. I don't know what you guys think but this was sad news for me.

Why did THQ not buy them out? Why?!?!?

I hoped that this rant would make me feel better but it didn't, guess I'll go crawl into a dark little corner now a and cry. And when I get home I'll go play TQ again that will make me feel better again...

They were making a multiplatform action-rpg, they invested too much and couldn't find publisher. I wonder about THQ..they might just be cheap, I mean..why buy IronLore when you can let it get closed down and then just hire all the staff?

If you just hire the staff you still don't have the rights to the games that company made and even if some other company buys the rights, the games just won't be the same unless it's the original guys working on it.

Actualy THQ owns the IPs of all the games Iron Lore worked on
