    Not to be left out of the vulture pack, GameSpot posted a recap of everything you could already read in the news regarding Troika's demise posted here previously, with one or two exceptions:

    As for Troika's situation following the lackluster popular and critical reception of Bloodlines, Meggs said, "There's a huge amount I could say about things that went both right and wrong, on both Vampire's development and Troika's business." He concluded, "But if you were me, would you post any of that to this forum?"

    When presented with the Mandrew posts, Boyarsky did not deny their authenticity. "We wish that [post] hadn't gotten out," he told GameSpot. "We're not ready to talk about it now. I'll answer questions at another time." As to when exactly that time will be, Boyarsky would only say, "We're working on a post [to be sent out] by the end of February." So until company officials say otherwise, Troika is officially open for business.

    Well, Mr. Meggs, funny you should ask yourself that after posting the full expose we've reported a day earlier. Blaming others for your short-sightedness is quite silly.

    In any event, Troika is obviously not going to make it easier for us to issue a (valid) death certificate, as you can read above... not for a while longer, at least. Let's just hope it doesn't go into the un-death stages of Interplay...

    Read the entire thing here.
