Epic Games Shuts Down Impossible Studios After 6 Months - News
by William D'Angelo , posted on 09 February 2013 / 5,182 ViewsEpic Games has shut down the Maryland-based Impossible Games just six months after it was opened. The studio is made up of ex-Big Huge Games employees, the studio which was closed down when 38 Studios went under. Impossible Studios was developing the iOS game Infinity Blade: Dungeons.
"We're closing Impossible Studios," said Tim Sweeney, Epic Games Founder, in a post on the companies website. "When former members of Big Huge Games approached Epic last year, we saw the opportunity to help a great group of people while putting them to work on a project that needed a team. It was a bold initiative and the Impossible folks made a gallant effort, but ultimately it wasn't working out for Epic."
"In addition to providing Impossible Studios employees with 3 months of severance pay, we'll be giving the team the opportunity to form a new company with the Impossible Studios name and the awesome Impossibear logo," Sweeney continued. "This means that Infinity Blade: Dungeons is now on hold as we figure out the future of the project."

From the sounds of this Impossible (former Big Huge) just wasn't producing the game up to Epic's expectations and they don't see any hope of it getting better to they've let them go.
I'll never get a true sequel to Rise of Nations lol (Legends doesn't count)
Something is happening at epic behind the scenes without a doubt. All these departures can't be coincidence
Bloodbath continues. 10th Studio closure this year.
and people think there is nothing wrong with second hand games. They have to do something.
Yeah. Lower the cost of producing games first. Is it better to make game companies go out of business or game stores? That's what it comes down too. And consumer basic rights to sell stuff.
