DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2010 August 17th, 2010 @ 17:49By Joe Anderson Sad News. Original Crackdown and APB developer Realtime Worlds has entered into administration. The news follows confirmations of redundancies last week given to VG247, with RTW saying it will continue to support APB. Begbies Traynor Group are handling matters while CEO Gary Dale, who was in Colorado speaking to staff is now back in Dundee. A full statement from Begbie Traynor is expected later today. Thanks, GI.biz http://www.vg247.com/2010/08/17/realtime-worlds-enter-administration/ Sad indeed :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If it wasn't for the Halo beta with Crackdown I wonder if this would have happened sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 17, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2010 Unlikely, it was a runaway success even after the beta. They should have stuck with MS though instead of turning their nose up to late offers on Crackdown 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Unlikely, it was a runaway success even after the beta. Runaway success? I disagree. Well received sure but it didn't set the world on fire for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amon91 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Administration of what? I'm not sure what the article is saying? :| As far as I know it means bankruptcy in the UK. The company is pretty much taken over by investors who either sell it off or shut it down altogether, am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treemonster Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 makes me glad i didn't buy apb, especially after they removed all the sub options except 20 hour slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minifig Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 This must be the big important news they were going to announce to APB "subscribers"... :laugh::rofl::laugh:. I hate to see them go, but they made fatal mistakes, and it cost them huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
