Closure of The Company
Whacked! for Xbox was Presto Studios' final title before closing its doors shortly afterward.

A significant number of the creative staff moved on to high-profile roles in motion picture and animation production.

Famous quotes containing the word company:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
