Time For A Reckoning: 38 Studios In Trouble?

Kingdoms of Amalur creators 38 Studios, who are based in Providence, Rhode Island, are apparently in talks with that state about their financial difficulties, as reported by this Providence newspaper. Superbly-named governor Lincoln Chafee said: "We're always working to keep Rhode Island companies solvent, and that's what we're doing with 38 Studios."

Reportedly, the game sold 410,000 copies across all formats - a figure which cast doubt on the future of the proposed MMO based on the world.
