I tipped the news to Massively.com as they weren't aware of Acclaim shutting down. Rubi Bayer made a small post out of it:
http://www.massively.com/2010/08/27/acclaim-shuts-down-all-games-and-main-site/.Some of the commenters on the post are also expressing their sadness:
"Agree with Jimo, sad to see a place that took part in the history of gaming go down and take its employees with them. Especially with the potential of games like TCOS in their hands. I too get grumby at Acclaim because they robbed me of spellborn." "Goodbye sweet sweet Spellborn T_T I wonder why Gamerfirst chose to publish 9Dragons, Spellborn is much better than 9D."But most people seem to bash down on Acclaim, stating that they are glad they're gone. I, too, share the same feeling. I'm happy Acclaim as a company is no more. They provided the worst support (all areas) ever... But I feel for the people that might have lost their jobs (we don't know anything about people moving to Playdom or not) and of course I'll miss Spellborn...
