Oh, thank god. FInally the IP will move to someone who doesn't make iOS puzzle games, and makes proper stealth tactical strategies.

Mimimi Games did a fanatic job over the years :)

But anyway, they are not selling, they are shutting down so the IP dies unless others copycat them.

As far as I know IP belings to THQ Nordic, does it not? Mimimi did not make the first Desperados.

You might be right there. This might mean we could see desperados 4 oh yeeeh

although the success of desperados 3 all goes to Mimimi

This genre is cursed, the only studio that proved they can make good games from this genre is gone.

There's a large thread on the Shadow Gambit forums where people are discussing this and waving Mimimi goodbye. As a bonus, it's mostly troll-free, so I'd recommend heading over there.

Sad news. I really loved Desperado 3 and was looking forward to starting Shadow Gambit soon.

For real? Do you think that? This is wasteland here. Nobody will do it after such competent studio cant make it profitable. See It: This is no mobile game. PC gaming (aside shooter) is like 5% of the gaming industry.

Last time I checked, the game had sold 366k copies roughly on steam, it would be more, plus that is not counting PlayStation numbers, Xbox numbers any physical copies and any collectors edition.
