I was saddened to hear about the financial straits 38 Studios and Big Huge Games seemed to be in, because I really liked Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning. Things were looking grim.
Epic Games decided to help them out in a big way, which is pretty amazing. You can read the article about it here: http://epicgames.com/community/2012/06/big-problems-need-huge-solutions/
It's nice to know that there is some good in this world and that there are people who are willing to take the time to help those in need.
Now for the not so good part. It looks like bad money management, a lack of business sense, and common sense in general caused these financial woes. The article here gives a pretty informative look at how this came to happen: http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/nesi/schillings-38-studios-spent-over-133m?3
