Boy does this suck. I know a lot of people who work at WizKids, and I just love all of their games.

The gaming world is a very fragile ecosystem for those of us who live in it; make sure you're out there supporting your friendly local game shop, geeks!-

Very sad. My friend got me into that Pirates game and I thought it was pretty cool. There aren't many game stores in my neck of the woods. There's a Games Workshop store at The Block in Orange but they only carry Warhammer and LOTR stuff, no board games or things like that.

Brendoman, sounds like you aren't too far from Garden Grove. I used to live in the area and there was a great gaming store called "Brookhurst Hobbies". I think it was near Brookhurst and Lampson - (I might have that cross street wrong).

So why don't the employees buy the company and exercise their ideas?

Failure should not be an option. It is lack of imagination. If a company depends on stealing good ideas from successful companies, then bye bye. However, if the company is made up of creative talent, then selling out in a downturn is showing a lack of imagination or innovation. Essentially, they were only in it for the money then. That's why I hate CFO led companies.
