Ion Dallas Shut Down(?) -- 8:38 am CST, Update by The Master

According to Shacknews, Ion Storm Dallas is shutting down today. Wow. I'll try to follow this one through the day.

It's too bad-I think Romero and crew spent too much time being party-kids, and not enough focusing on the games. They coulda been sumbody :-)

Update! 11:10am - Avault has an article up indicating that Ion Dallas will be closed, but not until completion of Anachronox.

A.T. Hun comments: Perhaps they could have been. There's only so long you can hemorrhage cash and not ship any products before even a company like Eidos is going to pull the plug. I was wondering what was going to happen with Anachronox. No matter how cool it is, I question if a Q2 engine-based game can still sell. Obviously Romero and Hall have talent. It is equally obvious that they need someone to hold their reins.

Update! Now the rumors are going around that ION Dallas isn't shutting down, although the only thing they seem to be denying is that it is shutting down today. Actually, I'm getting rather sick of talking about it.
