GRIN公司正式宣布倒闭，Outbreak诞生

这是真的，再也不会有金牙外加这令人毛骨悚然的微笑了。制作了《生化尖兵》，《通缉令：命运武器》等其他游戏的瑞士游戏开发公司GRIN由于“资金问题”而被迫倒闭。 

在一封来自GRIN得CEO以及董事Bo 和 Ulf Andersson（他们也是该公司创始人）得信中说道：“由于太多发行商本应支付的报酬一再拖延导致公司资金不足”正式关闭这家创建了12年的公司，Anderssons感伤的说：“还有一个好游戏正在开发，可惜不能完成了。”并对他们的合作伙伴以及最近支付报酬的公司表示感谢。

随着在巴塞罗那和哥德堡的工作室的关闭以及在斯德哥尔摩的该公司总部的即将关闭，关于GRIN的倒闭的谣言这个星期就已经如雨后春笋般开始冒出来。而且在该公司开发的《生化尖兵》以及《终结者》销售成绩不太理想之后不久，又传出该公司在今年早期时候的削减报告。

GRIN公司被报道出已经破产了，而根据瑞典电台Sveriges Radio报道说，现如今经济形势不好使该公司倒闭的根本原因。

Develop还报道说一些GRIN的前雇员组成了一家新的叫Outbreak的工作室，该工作室计划把工作重点放在Xbox Live Arcade版，PlayStation Network版，iPhone版的可下载游戏开发，还有Windows Live以及PSPgo版的游戏开发上。Outbreak工作室的创建人是Peter Bjorklund，他很不幸的是《终结者4：救世主》的制作人员之一。

It’s official. No more gold teeth will be added to that gruesome smile, as GRIN, the Swedish developer responsible for games like Bionic Commando, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more is closing its doors due to “an unbearable cashflow situation.”

In a letter from GRIN founders Bo and Ulf Andersson, the CEO and director, respectively, write that “too many publishers have been delaying their payments” to the developer, ending the 12-year-old company officially. The Anderssons lament their “unreleased masterpiece that we weren’t allowed to finish,” going on to thank their partners and the publishers who apparently did pay them.

Rumors of GRIN’s demise began popping up earlier this week, with studios Barcelona and Gothenburg shutting down and the imminent closure of the company’s Stockholm HQ. That followed reports of cutbacks earlier in the year, not long after the developer’s Bionic Commando and Terminator games failed to inspire sales.

GRIN was reported to have filed for bankruptcy earlier today, with Swedish news radio outlet Sveriges Radio citing the economic climate at the root cause of the closure.

Develop also reports that some former GRIN employees have founded a new studio, Outbreak Studios, which plans to focus on downloadable titles for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, iPhone, Games for Windows Live and PSPgo. Outbreak was founded by former GRIN lead programmer Peter Bjorklund, whose credits unfortunately include Terminator: Salvation.
