You are horrible. No one deserves to lose their job.

Thats what happens when you make a game with a Tasmanian tiger in it you become extinct.

Alot of people in here have been talking about game sales, but game sales really had very little impact on why krome was forced to shutdown. 

 Krome suffered from problems with the strength of the Australian dollar a weakening US dollar -- which meant they couldn't compete financially with American developers. Publishers became more and more frightened to take risks, as such alot of them cancelled projects, or worse made small developers compete for projects. 

In the end Krome found it self unable to get enough new projects to survive. 

 Anyway -- now that krome has shutdown how many Australian developers are left?

lol, so true so true. But there will be many slightings to come 

umm there is a heap of Iphone devolopers including Firemint who are regarded the best on Iphone 

one of the biggest selling games out of an australian own studio is My pony from an Melbourne studio as well as Bioshock from 2K marin. there is one doing AFL Live 2011 due next year and there are a few more like visceral games who make Dead Space another big seller. 

I fear in the next gen we will have learned that this gen was the worst we had yet seen (until the next gen).

I fear unless someone can prove to other developers you don't need to spend over 50 million dollars to develop a game then next gen won't be any better and there will be even more small companies dying.

@maxwellgt  when i said suck I meant the whole situation, I actually liked TFU for Wii but from what I heard part 2 is going to be like the HDs taking away all I liked about the Wii version

sad, Force Unleashed on the Wii is a great game

While it's sad that another dev shut down...

Looking at what they've developed. It's hard for me to care much, if at all, about them shutting down...
