APB developer RealTime Worlds closing

Last week, rumors surfaced about RealTime World's financial woes. The company was said to be laying off the entire staff working on their freshly announced game MyWorld. Word just reached us that this was not enough to save the studio.

Today, employees of RealTime Worlds were told that the company is closing and that its 170 staff still on the payroll no longer had a job. The fate of All Points Bulletin is currently unknown.

APB's launch had a luke-warm reception at best, with the gaming press awarding the game with mediocre scores across the board.
