Shadowrun Devs Close Shop

FASA Studios, developer of the recent multiplayer-only first-person shooter Shadowrun has officially been canned:
"It is my sad duty to announce that FASA Studio has officially closed its doors. Today was the official last day of employment for those of us who had not moved on to other positions within Microsoft Game Studios. While the rumors have been circulating forever, we chose to wait on an official announcement because we didn't want people's attention distracted from our last product, Shadowrun, a game we love.

...I'm saying goodbye to you on behalf of a group of talented and dedicated professionals who busted their humps for the love of the game. I am proud to have worked with and represented them to you and know that wherever they go, they will continue to kick ass."
Rumors about FASA's shutdown have been around since before the game's release - and may have helped to contribute to the title's poor sales. After all, who wants to invest in a multiplayer only game if it's not likely to be supported post-release? Microsoft has absorbed about half of FASA's employees and plans to continue supporting the game, but I wouldn't expect any more patches.
