Can’t say we can remember the last time a single game got its own store. Actually, it’s rare a game company gets its own store, so a one-title shop is just bananas.
There’s a catch, though; both stores are only open for a limited time, with the shutters coming down on December 14.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 12:31 AMTrue, especially given the recent layoffs. On the other hand how many developers can they pay if this approach works?
