They made the great NBA Jam game in the 1990s, then sucked their way into oblivion.

The good news if we won't have to suffer through anymore of their subpar games.

I don't know why this is good news guys, Acclaims named released many memorable games. Ecco the Dolphin, NBA Jam, Super Bust-A-Move are a few that I can remember.

because acclaim have been the pissbucket of the games industry. They're the ones who came up with bmx xxx, a version of nba jam that's worse than the one that came out in 1995, and many more poor games. Their decisions in the last 5 years are horrible. I'm glad they're out of business.

However, I feel for the developers. It's not like it's their fault. It's management.
