Radical Entertainment, the company behind the Prototype series, will have its heart ripped out and fed to the demon-beasts of financial projection reports by their liege lord, Activision. Apparently, the Prototype games didn’t sell well enough to please the dark lords who rule Activision from atop their skull thrones. The torn remains of Radical Entertainment will be presented on stakes as a warning to others, and also shifted around to support some older products. Kotaku has the story.
Radical Entertainment was some twenty years old, which is ancient for a video game company. Since Prototype 2 was apparently a great game and a top seller only surpassed by the likes of Diablo 3, it makes me wonder what’s really going on between them and Activision.
