I periodically just do a general search for the developers of Twisted Metal because I'm always interested in their success. Even though the last Twisted Metal didn't impress me much, I still recognize the team worked hard on it and that the ESP team had a great deal of people who helped make the Twisteds I did like (claims that ESP had ALL or MOST of the team were always a bit bonkers though).
As some may remember, last year we read how some Disney Avalanche Software employees (when Incog broke up, some went to ESP, some went to Lightbox, and some went to Avalanche Software (some of my faves actually)) joined a new developer set on doing augmented virtual reality.
Well, apparently later that same year Eat, Sleep, Play became a part of that developer.
Then this year all hell broke lose. Funding dried up and the Eat, Sleep, Play studio, in its entirety, was shuttered, along with the Avalanche team.
This means only the very, very small Lightbox Entertainment exists as a survivor of the once powerful Incognito Studios.
So much happens in 16 years. It's crazy.
