The last product of theirs I used was TheSettlers III. It was fun. But, after that, they made a series of bad decisions. Weren't they the first to have an umbilical so even LAN play required a working Internet connection - and rumoured a good one - or the game would quit?
I wish them well and I wish them a lot of smarts so they can get better.
