    Well, it looks like they DID JUST CATCH A BREAK - they NOW KNOW that their "publisher/payment processor" has failed them. Now they can move onto BETTER DAYS. Sounds like they are very fortunate to finally learn how to be in Business. In addition they have the media buzz and sympathies of people who don't even like the game making donations. This is just another "Dramatic Episode In The Sad World of Gaming".

    You know, their announcement title can be read a couple of ways. :)

    Probably would have been better as a bullet list.

    Losing their revenue stream and possibly a good amount of the revenue itself is not a break regardless of what it may lead to down the line. It is unlikely that whatever donations they receive will cover that loss.

    That's quite a blow for a company that likely doesn't have an abundance of resources available to weather such a storm. Hopefully they can endure it.

    If love of their game and passion for it dictated success, these folks would be at the top. I hate this situation for them and they are handling it the best they can. I will try and support them as best I can.
