End of a good thing
Well, my favorite video game company just went out of business. Working Designs is no more and that marks a sad day in the industry. WD was notable for their extraordinary translations that really breathed life into characters in a way I've never seen matched by even the current industry leaders in title porting. They provided the inspiration for me to actually get into games and literally the encouragement to pursue that dream. They selected gem titles that were often overlooked but then enjoyed such immense success here in the US that they were clearly desired. Their focus on RPG's and their unswavering devotion to top quality were perhaps their only mistakes and an industry that is becoming ever-more commercial and no longer leaves enough room for perfection. As they often said in response to a long title launch, "delays are temporary, mediocrity is forever."
No matter what else may be said, Working Design's games were never mediocre. It will be missed.
