As I said, we will try to keep covering the big news during my Prague trip and the minute I get into my hotel room, it's Player One all over the mailbox. The company went bust and ROK (who started to acquire it) is not happy at all…
Rumors about unpaid bills toward developers have landed in our mailbox for months, but the upcoming acquisition by ROK that was announced inOctober, was expected to solve those issues. Now it seems the acquisition has come to late and surprised ROK (while a Due Diligence should have given this away).
Player One has always been a big J2me and Mobile Video publisher in the UK. That market was their primary focus and often, licensed brands where for the UK only. That way, the company limited it's own distribution possibilities.
Every bit on this story sounds weird. We wonder how ROK will react to this and what other facts will surface now the company hits administration. If anybody has tips, feel free to mail us at news@mobilegamesblog.com.
