    Troika is more or less dead. The employees have been laid off and the entity's future is being decided.

    As many of you may have already heard, Troika has laid off all of its employees and is closing its doors due to our inability to secure funding for future projects.

    We have not yet made the decision as to whether Troika Games as an entity will regroup and pursue future projects or simply cease to exist.

    We want to thank all of our fans for their support these past seven years, it has really meant a lot to us that there were people out there who enjoyed our games enough to create fan-sites and follow our progress as a company. But we especially want to thank all of our employees - we had the pleasure of working with the some of the most dedicated, hard working, creative people in the industry, and we really appreciate all that they did for Troika.

    Thanks for everything, Tim, Leonard, and Jason

    I was actually at Troika's liquidation sale this past Saturday. I was skeptical whether it was true or not, but I took the drive out there w/ a couple of friends. Place was pretty barren. We were told that employees took most of the good stuff. There were about a dozen monitors and a dozen computers for sale. Bunch of cables and furniture were also available.

    I got a 19" Viewsonic monitor (flatscreen) for $60 and a 21" Integraph monitor for $55. Also picked up Neverwinter Nights for $1. One of my friends picked up two Geforce4 Ti4200s for $5 each. Another friend got two of the Viewsonics. The computers ranged from Athlon 1200-1800 and were $300 - $400 each. They all came w/ 512mb - 2gb ram, radeon 9200-9700 and either a CD or DVD-ROM drive. There were a couple of dual-processor ones as well.

    I was hoping to find some actual gaming memoribilia (standees, dummy boxes, etc) but the few things that were there (like a door-sized PC Gamer magazine cover w/ Vampire featured) they said they were holding onto.

    That's pretty sad... but interesting that it was true. Sounds like you got a great deal on some stuff there. Thanks for sharing...
