Ghost Busters (2016) Game Developer Files for Bankrupcy

               

          On August 1, 2016, It was reported on Kotaku that the game developer that developed the Ghost Busters (2016) game, Fireforge Games, filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy three days after the games' release.Link to Kotaku Article:  http://kotaku.com/ghostbusters-developer-fireforge-games-goes-bankrupt-1784625739

          According to the bankrupt filings, Fireforge was liquidating many assets of the company to pay off its' 12 million dollar debt. If anyone who has been keeping up with the game, you most likely know that the game has been getting really bad review scores and from that it looks like sales of the game have been poor as well. A person who worked on the game stated that the game only had an eight month development period, which could be one reason why the game was not received well with its lack luster gameplay and repetitiveness. But anyone who knows a little about game development, eight months is very little time to create a game, if it's a simple game then maybe, but the average game takes at least a good year to make, at least from the type of game Fireforge was going for. It's sad to any company to go bankrupt, because people lose jobs and its just never good, and I wish the best for all the employees of Fireforge and hope you all can find a new job or something to keep you afloat.
