The latest reports on the Acclaim saga suggest that Rod Cousens, former CEO, will reopen the UK
studios in Manchester and Cheltenham. Cousens is being backed by Europlay Capital Advisers LLC and along with the
studios, has acquired the rights to four games and several other IPs. The studios, while planning to rehire much of the
preexisting staff, will be operating under a new name. The team will also include former Acclaim publisher Barry
Jafrato. Let's just hope they've all learned from their mistakes and can move on.
