Hmm
I just read today, Wizkids Games, makers of Heroclix, is ceasing operations. Not to to surprising really. I haven't played Heroclix in probably 6 months, and I know I quite a few former players as well. As the game evolved, it lost it's appeal as a wacky little game to have fun with on the weekends. Once it hit the point where going to a venue to play felt like worked I stopped playing and never looked back. It's kinda sad, since the game did bring me a lot of enjoyment, but I kinda saw it coming. I'm sure Heroclix will exist in some format, it was Wizkids one profitable brand. It will probably be sold off to someone else. As for the rest of Wizkids games, they my just disappear into the ether. It kinda does explain the depressed Heroclix prices in the after market, though. I've been selling off some of my Clix since they are just collecting dust, and I've notice the after market prices I drops a lot in the past month or so.

Anyways, Wizkids, it was a pleasure playing your games, and may they live on even though, your no longer with us.


Dear God, I just eulogized a Gaming Company...I'm such a dork. What's next, me reminiscing about Data East, the no longer with us, the makers of the awesome WWF Royal Rumble Pinball Game?
