Just to be clear: Flagship Studios is dead
Some former Flagship employees have gone on to start a new studio, but what they'll be working on is anyone's guess as the rights for the deceased developer's IPs were gobbled up by other companies. Now, let's all move on and learn from Flagship's mistakes and try not to repeat them. Writing stories about lots of people losing their jobs is never fun.

That picture makes me feel old...and I'm rather young.

Same here. Kids these days don't know who the Beatles are.
I know it's not the Beatles, before you downvote me.

Join the club but damn nice image find!

It's an ex-parrot!

Beau-iful plumage.

Wiinterfang @ Aug 15th 2008 12:48PM

Use it.
Wiinterfang @ Aug 15th 2008 1:00PM
I hate wikipedia.

No, it's not! It's just sleeping!
Alex @ Aug 15th 2008 1:32PM
No, It's in shock!
Anam @ Aug 15th 2008 1:42PM
It's just stunned.

It's pining for the fjords!
Richard Mitchell @ Aug 15th 2008 12:50PM
Flagship Studios is no more. Bereft of life. It's shuffled off this mortal coil and joined the choir invisible.
Flagship Studios is an EX-studio!
Mike T. @ Aug 15th 2008 2:55PM
If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies!
OK, I'm done now.

a Picture of weekend at Bernie's would have been better
WiNG [Life in a Game] @ Aug 15th 2008 12:58PM
Except this image is from something funny.
And relevant.
And not Weekend At Bernie's.
theturtle363 @ Aug 15th 2008 2:21PM
relevant? really? Monty python is almost 40 years old
eugaet @ Aug 15th 2008 4:54PM
Monty Python will never fall out of relevancy.
Do you want to come back to my place?

I STILL want to know WTF will happen to Mythos. I would have shelled out $1000 if it would have kept the game alive and in the right hands :(
bigD @ Aug 15th 2008 2:15PM
Agreed (Well maybe only $500). Mythos was an excellent game to sit down with for 30 minutes at a time, and crank out a couple quests. Can't go wrong with Diablo+WoW.
JonRemedy @ Aug 15th 2008 3:41PM
according to the interview at gamecyte, Runic Games will create a game very similar to Mythos, if they can have their will.
brandon @ Aug 15th 2008 4:03PM
Yeah but similar to does not equal the same as. Plus, one was ready now, whereas the other hasn't even started yet.
Marcelo Abans @ Aug 15th 2008 2:40PM
So much for the "diablo" team kicking blizzard's ass. It did seem like a fantastic idea for a game.. Too bad..
Saria the Cat @ Aug 15th 2008 4:20PM
Wow, that is the most specific, appropriate, and awesome photo for this article.
#28 @ Aug 16th 2008 3:32AM
No kidding.
"No it isn't!"
Zootittles @ Aug 15th 2008 4:49PM
Flagshipped.
Korova Pamplona @ Aug 15th 2008 5:58PM
I wonder if joystiq writers search the internet for hours after they get an idea for a post to find an appropriately poignant image. Because some of them are so new and refreshing.
Easo @ Aug 16th 2008 9:54AM
If you like the photo you'll get a kick out of this.
