GarageGames Folding

InstantAction shut down, and they're trying to find a buyer for Torque. (That means no more Fallen Empire: Legions, of course.) Also might explain why they sold the Tribes IP not long ago.
Coincidentally, Emergent (the creators of the NetImmerse/Gamebyro engine used by Bethesda Softworks games since Morrowind) also folded at the same time. If that engine gets buried due to that, I won't miss it, not after all its bugginess and unoptimized-ness.

I do however declare my support for a "Torque Foundation" type community buyout. Perhaps dedicated hobbyists who are getting paid no money will do a better job of making torque suck less than the paid employees of IA ever did.
Such a feat would be more reachable if someone experienced with Torque buys it and gets to work immediately.
We might be able to succeed by the next planetary alignment.
Don't worry, I'll deal with these guys.
Stay dead GG. I'll be celebrating.
