KnackChap Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The last Credits from the brothers GRIN* 12/08/09 Stockholm, SWEDEN * It is with a heavy heart we announce today that GRIN has been forced to close its doors. This as too many publishers have been delaying their payments, causing an unbearable cashflow situation. After twelve years of hard work, employing hundreds of wonderfully talented men and women, it is over. It has been a great adventure and the GRIN family has experienced what few have. Looking back at twelve years of games, titles such as Ballistics, Bandits, GRAW 1 & 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, Terminator: Salvation, Bionic Commando and our unreleased masterpiece that we weren’t allowed to finish; it has been a great ride. We would like to thank a few special companies and individuals that have meant a lot for us during these years: Phil Scott & Phil Wright and crew at Nvidia Greg, Chris, Guy, Leigh and crew at Intel Fabrice, Stephane, Mathieu, Romain, Nouredine and the rest of the team at UBI Soft for the wonderful opportunities on GRAW – you kicked us off, thanks! The crew at SEB who stood by us at all times Adam Boys and the guys at CAPCOM US. Thanks for being honest, a rare gift. The biggest hug goes to all of our great team members and their families. We had a lot of fun even though we were fighting crazy hours and producers. The final thanks goes out to our GRIN mom, Annelie – you stood by us and the company from birth to death – without you none of the great times would have happened. And to all our gamers – we hope you had a good time. brb… /afk Bo Andersson, Founder & CEO. Ulf Andersson, Founder & Director. http://www.grin.se/ Sad news, they were a pretty talented bunch of guys. a simple case of biting off more than they could chew, 3 major releases in a span of 2 months and they didnt even manage to sell 1 mill copies combined(all platforms) (;_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is sad news , I really liked GRAW 1 and 2 on PC , great open-world huge environments and taking different routes was a blast in GRAW games on PC , GRAW was bundled with my XFX 8800GTX GPU , even the MP was solid as well. I'll miss GRIN Studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's hope they achieve greater feats elsewhere and give us some great gameplay in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
