Yeah. It's not a rumor, though. It happened. It was chapter 11, though, so in other words they aren't completely done yet. But filing for bankruptcy is never good. It sucks, because you know Brighter Minds probably gave 2D boy a chance when others wouldn't, but at the same time it shouldn't really effect 2D boy. World of Goo was such a hit that when they do release any new Goo games, I doubt they'll have trouble finding a publisher.

Agreed, it should not effect 2D Boy that much. It is the publisher, which is a shame for future products of 2D Boy (Which I do hope they are considering/making). Best thing you can do is buy 2D Boy's products. As for the publisher, perhaps they will figure out what they need to do.
