Torquepowered is dead, long live GarageGames

Nu al 2 weken geleden werd de Torque gemeenschap wakker onder een nieuw gesternte : de kopers van het TorquePowered gedeelte van InstantAction werden onthuld, de operaties opnieuw opgestart, en de oude ‘GarageGames’ naam werd terug aangenomen.

De kopers, heel kort en slechts éénmaal vermeld in de bekendmaking van de overname, zijn het soort koper waar de meesten in de Torque gemeenschap op hoopten: een bedrijf met een sterke link naar games, meer geïnteresseerd in een ondetsteunde groei, en minder in een cash-in strategie.

TorquePowered and InstantAction are shutting down

Posted in Game Development, Torque Game Engine on November 12th, 2010 by David – Be the first to comment

Shocking news this evening : TorquePowered just announced that its partner company will be shutting down, and that they are seeking for a buyer.

InterActive Corp has been creating some very big waves recently in the technology landscape as they are reviewing their business. After a period when the company was buying as much companies as it could in an effort to differentiate its portfolio, that strategy has changed. It seems IAC now wants to focus on a limited number of assets, and the ones that aren’t in the core portfolio have to go. And going in this case means being sold or closed down. read more »
