Vic Ireland, the President of Working Designs, announced, "Working
Designs is gone. All the staff has been laid off and the office is closed and has been for some time." Known for their
localizations of many Japanese titles, notably the popular Lunar series. He alludes to the cause of
their collapse saying, "Sony has made it clear that they do not want the details of their dealings with any publisher
made public. Suffice to say that you would buy what we wanted to sell if we could sell it."
He hasn't given up though; Ireland hopes to use the immense potential of the Xbox 360, encouraging fans to "let
[Microsoft] know that YOU WANT MORE JRPGs here. There's some amazing stuff coming for the '360 in Japan, and I know I
want it - I think you will, too." Well, what are you waiting for?
[Thanks, yay]
