That is a shame but not a complete loss. As far back as I can remember there has always been one big games company here and a bunch of small indies/ start ups. Emerald, then Gremlin, then Funcom, then PopCap. Now there is no big studio. Three start ups (two in games dev) have already spawned from the PopCap studio before it closed and I really hope that there will be more now. There’s plenty of talent in there to pull it off. Hopefully this will lead to a change in attitude with regards indies and the industry in general. We need more support for indies….cos that’s all we have now.
