Oy! oy! What is going on!
Ugh... everything is moving to smart phones...
I guess it's true that if you are not constantly releasing things, then you are quickly forgotten.
Alchemist was a pretty popular company too...
Don't go Alchemist~~!
Woah... Talk about sad news out of nowhere. This reminds me of Manglobe.
