No doubt, the writing was on the wall at Wolfpack Studios two weeks ago when parent company Ubisoft dropped the monthly subscription fee for Shadowbane. Today, the publishing giant announced they are closing the Austin-based developer, in order to refocus their efforts on next gen game production. All 25 employees at Wolfpack are getting the axe, and the future of the 3-year-old MMORPG could be in jeopardy.
If Ubisoft pulls the plug on Shadowbane, it would be more of a blow to Mac users who have fewer MMO options. It would also signal the sad destruction of another gaming world. Remember Asheron's Call 2?
