Post IREM may be in big Financial Trouble!

IREM's Official Online Webstore is closing.

Hopefully their financial problems won't extend to home content. I been told that they are suffering quite a bit as a result of the earthquake and tsunami. The loss of PSN certainly can't help.

One has to hope that if they are to go out of business that some other development house would buy them and pick up the development they are so good at.

This would be a major blow to Home if we lose them.

LOL sorry about that above post,hit the wrong button. I believe many developers are bleeding badly from this outage and wouldn't be surprised if some did go out of business over this.I guess they are collateral damage in the Sony v.s. Hacker battles,as we are.I can't wait for this to be over,i imagine the developers feel the same.Our motivations may be different,financial compared to purely enjoyment purposes,but the end of this outage will bring the same reaction from all of us i think: RELIEF.

I would be devastated to see IREM leave Home. I know this will sound ridiculous to many of you, but, the best thing we can do for our favorite developers is to buy things we like immediately when Home reopens rather than putting it off. I suspect many of them will need a quick infusion of cash.

Well I plan on buying IREM when Home does come back up. Sadly, we'll have to wait for the store until at least the end of the month (or longer) it seems.

I’ll definitely look at supporting them when the PSN store comes back up. Any company losing a profit center for over a month is hard. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sony step in and help out somehow.

Any company that has a name derived from the Lovecraft Mythos automatically gets my attention so when the store is up and running i'll definitely see what they have for sale.
