Had this thread pointed out to me on the Palladium forums by Something Positive's blog:

Seems Palladium games, makers of some of my favorite rpgs, may be going bust.

I guess there is a line of script that calls forth Satan in their books.

Right here, in fact.

Pfeh. Everyone knows if you make a deal with Satan, you get all sorts of cool stuff while you're alive. This isn't cool stuff.

I find it difficult to feel sympathy for someone who spawned Rifts.

Still...their other games...

Regardless, it seems so strange considering how long they've been around.

I liked Rifts. And Robotech. And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And Marvel Superheros. I liked them all.

I remember we played polar bears once, and started stealing air conditioners so that we could turn part of the sewer into a lair.

They did robotech? I played that a couple months ago, as well as the old battletech game. So much fun was had.

I will give them props for TMNT. And it's sad about the whole embezellment thing. Man...what is it with game companies and crooked accountants? Steve Jackson Games had to deal with a bit of that, if I remember correctly.

But the N Gage...oh man, they really should have tested the waters before leaping into that one. The reception for the thing was chilly before its release, and never changed afterwards. Of course, the N Gage was a pretty terrible contraption. I remember seeing a cell phone store line its walls with their unsold boxes.

OMG, what have I done?!

A disturbingly large amount of the smaller companies have been going bankrupt lately. It won't be long until EA, Squaresoft, Capcom and Namco are the only third party developers left.

And that sort of thing can get out of hand pretty quickly, I hear.

Quoted for truth.

Wait wait wait, what the heck? Palladium was in on the N Gage? The fools.
