Lets all express our sincerest thanks for at least two great games and all our best wishes to its former employees, hopefully at least some of them will be working on other great CRPG`s soon.
Thank you Troika and Farewell......

I guess you should have bought their games and then they'd still be alive folks.

Unfortunately, there was no room for them. All the places have been taken by Dot personnel!!

I bought toee and vampire.
I really liked vampire and didnt like toee. I would bet... that some of the troika people go work on fallout 3 at bethesda? What do u think about that theory? |

I hope you're right, Stamar. While I think Bethesda will do a good job with Fallout 3, it sure wouldn't hurt to have some of the original Fallout crew on hand. I wonder if Tim and the gang would swallow their pride long enough to consider joining the company that outbid them for Fallout 3. I'd like to think so.

 This is sad news indeed. They were one of my favorite devs. I have all of their games and I greatly enjoyed them.
