Thank you. Such a shame. Their brand was so well known and their games so loved and addictive. I would have thought it would fit right in the App Store. Perhaps we'll see someone buying the titles, artwork and team?
I don't have any inside information on the news, and NY is still asleep.
However, their PR guru has tweeted from his own account saying they are still up and running. It is clear something has happened; I don't want to speculate but my hope is that the core team is still there and they will live on and support their products and move forward.
As to whether they sell the rights to others for App Store versions, that is an interesting idea and I'd like to see it happen as they have some great products.
