Krome closure threatens Game Room future


Krome Studios, the developers behind Microsoft's underrated Game Room service, are in big financial trouble and have confirmed they will be closing their doors on Monday 18th October.  Krome were once Australia's biggest game developer, responsible for Ty the Tasmanian Devil, several Spyro games, some Star Wars conversions and, most importantly to retro junkies like myself, Microsoft's Game Room.

Microsoft have not yet confirmed what this means for Game Room, but rumour has it there are still several Game Packs yet to be released (we're up to 10), so even if Krome are the only ones who can produce that stuff (which doesn't sound right to me), Game Room isn't dead just yet.
