Crackdown dev raises $50 million
According to this, Realtime Worlds has raised $50 million to finish off APB and buy Ferraris. Maybe just the former.
Montgomery & Co – the firm that previously assisted on the $700 million Club Penguin sale to Disney – organised the cash, apparently.

Yeah a massive one. I don’t know why they don’t come grovelling back with a money hat.

Let’s hope APB is as hot as it could be. Crackdown’s certainly a good advert for what the studio can do.

Crackdown’s one of my favourite 360 games. I can’t believe they’re not doing a sequel.

APB is a massively multiplayer thing, isn’t it? Or a MMMeh, as I like to call them.

It’s supposedly MMO without the crap bits, as in you don’t have to play it for 12 hours to do anything.
Disgaea’s brilliant, btw. I can’t stop playing it.

You still have to play with filthy “humans” though, don’t you? No ta.
