I apologize for picking up on this story a few days late, but I had to spend the weekend moving without internet access. According to various sources, including this Google Groups thread, the Quarter to Three forums, and GameSpot's latest rumor control article, Troika Games may have either layed off a large number of employees or even partially/fully shut down. Considering Arcanum and Vampire: Bloodlines both made it into my personal list of the best RPGs ever created, this is extremely sad news. From what GameSpot is reporting, however, we should know more in February:

While many independent developers are enjoying success (i.e. BioWare, Obsidian Entertainment), others are not faring as well. This week, word surfaced that indie shop Troika Games, which was founded by several former Fallout developers and Interplay castaways, had fallen on hard times--so hard that, by some reports, it was closing its doors. So GameSpot went to the man himself, co-CEO and co-founder Leonard Boyarsky, to find out what's what. Boyarsky then gave us this cryptic answer: "We are basically perusing some options...after the beginning of February, we'll be making a statement." So, for now, they're still in business. But with February less than a week away, that could change soon.
