Sijun Forums :: View topic - TTLG- through the looking glass, what happened?

www.ttlg.com was a great fansite dedicated to the games of Looking Glass Studios, and to games which carried on the quality and spirit of Looking Glass (for those who don't know). anyways, I can't connect to it anymore (it's been many months since I last tried)- anyone know what happened? has it relocated or disbanded?

This may be horribly wrong, but I think I remember reading a while back when I was really heavy into gaming that looking glass was on its way out. You probably already know this if it's true. A fansite can't run very long when the company no longer exists and still profit can it?

Wasn't that company all women or something?

I remember it was my dream company for a while : )

And yes...I remember them going out of bussiness. I think right before thiefII was released.

Maybe if you sniff around on www.gamasutra.com you can still find that news message.

Looking Glass did good work, but they suffered from games that required a too "intelligent" gamer it seems. Something like that made their great games sell bad.

no, looking glass studios died years ago, I know that. this is a fan site about their games. and nevermind anyways, the site is back up, it just had server downtime yesterday when I tried to connect.
