pdf in Finnish, listing all Finnish bankrupt companies on March 2016. See spot 5 for Bugbear Entertainment Oy. They have not filed themselves, but rather the bankruptcy is initiated by the creditor.

I'd say you shouldn't hold your breath for this game to actually finish :)

go fund me? lol

[Zeron]

This better be a joke.

[Tibelius]

It's legit, but they can still pay their dept if they are able. I highly doubt that happening though.

[Zeron]

I'm so done defending this company if they are legit screwed. They got very silent about game development and now they're not telling us that this is happening?

I hope Jannes gets in here and provides us an explaination, this is some serious sh*t, what have they been doing with our funds?

if the bankruptcy is true its 2 late for that, the debt collector would raffel it off, kick starters and such are ok if people want their procucts cheap but 4 people that have more money than that they are a terrible idea because they dont usually offer hi investors a % stake in the company.

The best thing a company can do after filling for backruptcy is selling their assets. Let's take THQ as an example, assets are intelectual properties such as the Saints Row franchise that was sold to Koch Media. They knew they had some top tier intelectual properties that they could make some last resort money, so they sold everything before completely getting dissolved.

So what could happen in this case? Bugbear doesn't own the Flatout series, but they own the Romu engine, the current staff (under a limited contract), the website and, of course, Wreckfest. All of that can be sold to another company.

All of that can be sold to another company if Bugbear filled the lawsuit themselves, but since it was the debtor's filling, the debtors are the ones who get those assets as a way to collect the debts.

i wonder whats their priority, what will be sold first and what will be kept if anything

Fix'd. ;P

I don't know what to think of that. Apparently,

https://www.asiakastieto.fi/yritykset/bugbear-entertainment-oy/15867168/yleiskuva

the big number on that site (3 957 000) is supposed to be revenue.


Before mass panic happens, I suppose the developers should give a statement on that.

[Tibelius]

Revenue != profit. They can have 10million dollars of revenue and still end up bankrupt.
