How can the company that invented two affordable and amazing innovations in tabletop gaming - the Clix system with Mage Knight in 2000 and the tiny styrene model system with Pirates of the Spanish Main in 2004 - be unceremoniously shuttered in a four paragraph press release? Was there no way to save this company?
Boy, I remember when WizKids was just a scrappy indie game company who happened to show up with a good idea and reaped some serious success... and now they're gone. Although looking over their sum total of product lines, they did kinda have some stinkers in there.
Guess I won't have to worry about future Pirates releases. Just another game that I don't stop buying; it stops selling.
