The 3DO Company Files Chapter 11
Wednesday May 28, 8:32 pm ET
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The 3DO Company, a Delaware corporation (Nasdaq: THDO - News), and The 3DO Company, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, today announced that they have filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California.
"This filing gives us more time to complete transactions in the interest of our stakeholders," said Trip Hawkins, Chairman and CEO. "While we hope that this news will generate additional new opportunities, at this point we are focused on pursuing either the sale of the entire company or the sale of its assets."
The Company will continue to manage their properties and operate their businesses in the ordinary course of business as "debtors-in-possession" subject to the supervision and orders of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

Amazing, 3DO finally had a somewhat decent looking game coming out and now they die :lol:
I guess I saw the last of 3DO at this years E3.
In 1993, things looked A LOT different for 3DO. That said, over the last few years (with a few exceptions such as High Heat Baseball), their games (Johnny Mosely Mad Trix, Portal Runner, etc...) were classic examples of how NOT to do business in the land of competitive video games. Horrible games, horrible marketing, and probably tested by simians, this company turned out to be one of the big losers of all time.
3DO could've been a far different animal had they learned from those that might have supported them (ie... you and me) instead of ignoring their target audience by listening to talking heads in corporate meetings that dreamed something far different from what reality turned out to be.
It saddens me that they never really could be what they might have been. The last few years have been painful for the company and their employees. Best of luck to them.
no way. that award still goes to...Quote:

*shrugs in unison with wording* : dah-well...
Well, I just hope that 4 Horsmen of Appocalypse will still get released. The only 3DO game I ever wanted :( :( :(
Yeah, 4 Horsmen of Appocalypse actually looked pretty good, and their old games (Killing Time, Blade Force) were decent.
Otherwise, eat shit, Trip Hawkins, and good riddance, 3DO! :lol: I hope this guy tries to clean my windshield the next time I drive into the city so I can get out of my car and kick his ass for infecting the world with his shit-ass Army Men games.
