Rare has fallen but to be fair, a lot of studios from that time have as well.
Little talked about fact in gaming fandom, development teams are often torn asunder and within a generation or two are unrecognizable. Guys get fired, promoted, quit, etc. Things change, Rare isn't what they used to be but hey, if they aren't completely dead, you can't really count them out. Heck, weren't they were on the verge of collapse back when Nintendo contacted them to do the work on the first KI and DKC?
