Was this the same company that stole the Sunken City from the devs and put it as a separate released on Steam?

Such a shame. Robocop Rogue City is an excellent game.

Greedfall 2 is published by Nacon. Hopefully this news won't have a negative impact on the devs, since the full release is planned for next month.

Judging by the reception of its early access, I suspect this will be DOA. And contributive to Nacon's problems.

Damn, I want more Robocop games. Hopefully they'll manage to survive.

WRC was good game on Nacon

damn, so the servers for WRC Gen will possibly stay offline which means platinum stays impossible. Would have been a major grind anyway for the final offline one, but I guess now I forget that as a whole.

Friendly reminder that Nacon is also a hardware company and was created as such.

Not only they're a publisher, but Spiders is also Nacon's subsidiary. So yeah, it's not a good situation

I bought a Nacon published games last week... Gear.Club Unlimited 3 for Switch 2... on cart based on a misleading ad on Amazon which did not show the white Game Key Card banner at the bottom of the front cover. 
Besides being annoyed at that as a physical games collector - I did get a partial refund from Amazon though - I thought the game itself was extremely mediocre with tragically unstable 30 fps quality and 60 fps performance modes (no VRR support when played docked on TVs!) and very average visuals and audio. My advice to any Switch 2 looking at buying this game is DON'T BOTHER. Get the far superior GRID Legends instead which is also cheaper.

I've loved what they've done, especially as a AA studio with a limited budget. Robocop was fantastic, and I was looking forward to their next Terminator game. I hope they pull through.

Does the developer of Robocop belong to Nacon? If Nacon was "only" publishing it, I bet the developer can jump to Devolver or Saber Interactive.I've loved what they've done, especially as a AA studio with a limited budget.

You're correct, the dev is Teyon, so I'd hope they could carry it elsewhere. Which makes me more hopeful, haha. They've done great jobs lately. But Terminator Survivors will surely be dead as Nacon was developing.

Yeah only caried by the license. It was just okay at the best of times.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It sounds like it's just restructuring, so hopefully they're able to right the ship. I'm curious what caused the "unexpected" refusal on their loan. It doesn't sound like their operations are just shitting the bed or anything like that, but who knows.

Wasn't The Sinking City situation resolved in Frogwares favor? There is only one SC available on Steam and its published and developed by Frogwares.

Nacon is a shitty company and they've proven this on multiple occasions, like with that they've done to Test Drive Unlimited or how the whole clusterfuck about the rights to The Sinking City unfolded. Sure, they have some very cool IP's in their publishing portfolio which will now be in trouble (like Hell Is Us, Robocop, WRC or upcoming Endurance Motorsport Series), but they deserved that some bad karma would eventually catch up.

Didnt know Nacon had so many studios and games. They actually pump out lots, but mostly indie stuff or less popular sports games. But some known games like Hell is Us, Robocop,

Yes. Frogwares managed to acquire the Sinking City IP from Nacon and self publish it. But it took a few years and most likely a lot of money, since Nacon refused to pay neither for milestones or royalties to Frogwares. I think the case was settled in court.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. That sucks...

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Well that fucking sucks.
They've made two of my favorite AA games this gen.

Shame that devs that can actually do some good like Nacon and helps publishes fun games like Robocop and Warhammer: Chaosbane gets the boot while activist parasites that makes garbage like 1348 and South of Midnight is free to shit out their worthless garbage.

Damn I really liked Spiders to. Oh well I expect we will see more and more of this.
yes

is a good game.
Anyway I'm pretty sure that Teyon studio will be among the ones to find an alternative publisher for their next project. Kylotonn and their racing games is where I'm worried, the future of WRC and that endurance racing game is very uncertain.

Teyon Studios have been around for quite a while, and in the past they have been mostly seen as a shovel ware developer. They have been finding their grove since... that shitty Rambo game in 2014, with retro movie tie-ins. Terminator: resistance was a flawed yet interesting idea. They really hit something with RoboCop: Rogue City. I think this studio will continue on, given that they are a private company.
I'm really not that familiar with Nacon as a publisher. I didn't know they published the WCR games. Surprised that they were the publishers of Cannon Spike on the Dreamcast... Probably just the EU publisher? They published a lot of things that I am unfamiliar with, outside of Robocop.
