Greetings LcT

I am here to inform all of you of some sad news.  Brainstem Games will be shutting its doors after a long a bumpy ride the last 18 months.  We made a big splash at the AGDC 08 but didn't walk away with any solid Publisher's interest.  This was mainly due to the industry's continued focus on MMO's.  We did however gain the interest of several asian Publishers but given the tragic state of our economy and the stock market, we have had our financing cut short.  The needed time to seal any publishing deals has been cut short and any potential Venture Capitalists have been scared away due to the terrible financial state the country is in.  I want to thank all of those that have been involved in our project.

So how will this affect LcT?  LcT shall once again be independent.  Brainstem will no longer be supporting our Dedicated Boxes so we will have to go back to our original support model with clanleaders contributing.  I will continue to support our 100 slot Ventrilo Server.  We can coordinate this effort with Avguste and Jo.  Website and forums will remain the way they are so don't fret.  I'll post updates as they come.

Thank you.

It is really sad news.
Sorry to see BsG shut down.
I hope that all of the BsG staff will find themselves in other companies and best of luck to them all
----------

As LcT administrator,I also hope that all BsG staff will remain and contribute in one way or another to LcT.
Also, for clan leaders,I will start working on ways we can deal with servers and such.
If you are a clan leader/council member,please look in the Tribal council boards.

[briggs]

we are going to have to put forth a plan of paying for this hosting for the servers/websites also i am guessing that donations to clans/ servers is ok now ?

[avguste]

Briggs,check the council board.
I opened a thread to discuss about our options and to work a plan before talking to the rest of the community.

Good luck to all of you.
