Even more bad news. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster that I want to get off, but won't stop!

I just read this on the VoodooExtreme site ( http://www.voodooextreme.com/):

Sirtech Dead? 5:38 AM (your time) - James "Prophet" Fudge - Games: General - (8)
German gaming site Gamesurf.de passed along this disturbing bit from a Jagged Alliance fansite about the demise of Sir-tech Canada (makers of the Wizardry and Jagged Alliance series of games). Apparently they were looking for some kind of assistance from Sir-tech and received this sad bit of news from Ian Currie, Director of Product Development at the company:

Hi,

Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help you out. Tomorrow will be my last day working for Sirtech. Everyone else has already gone.

Ian Currie
Director, Product Development
Sir-tech Canada Ltd.
This is probably the saddest news i've heard all year. This also means that we will probably never get to play Wizardry 8 or another Jagged Alliance game..

I hope they're wrong about Wiz 8 not coming out.
