Weren't the promises of "unannounced Wii Project" centered around this Achim Moller anyway?

So that project at least should be good. I assume the PS360 Superman game had already been canceled following the destruction of Brash.

Still sad to see them go, and also opens the question of "Whatever happened to Julian Eggebrecht?"

I thought he left after he made Lair.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Nope he was still there at least until November of last year after Brash went up he said their new projects were still coming along, then things just got quiet from the company as a whole.

Why is the title not making it clear it's not the entire company?

The title seems fairly specific to me. Factor 5 Inc. is dead. Factor 5 GmbH is not.

Why are you assuming others would know that? The term "inc." is often meant to imply an entire company. Even if that isn't the case, that's the context it's mainly used in. If you didn't know that the German branch had a different title, I doubt you would have know exactly what it meant.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Just a note, inc is a designation for "incorporated", a term that is required by any company that has filed in the US as a S or C Corporation. Been there done that =)

But again, most of the time the designation is used, it means the entire company, thus implying the entire company closed.

Sorry, but I don't agree with you. The title is correct, and perfectly clear to me. It might be "often meant", but it's not correct.
