The office being sold isn't exactly a GOOD sign...
A boutique publisher may have been forced into bankruptcy while still taking preorders for product that has never been delivered.
Dispatch Games, who were serving as a Western publisher for the games of City Connection (the former Jaleco) including Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase and Penguin Wars has not communicated anything on social media since March (with replies set to "only those mentioned" on Twitter, allowing no replies). Their outstanding Switch localization projects were Game Paradise (aka Game Tengoku), Radirgy Swag, and Japanese Rail Sim Journey to Kyoto, along with a pair of PlayStation 4 projects. Preorders had been charged for major collectors editions including vinyl soundtracks that stand little chance of being delivered, according to an investigation from Seafoam Gaming, who have been following the company for years.
