Red Mile's Financials Paltry, Closure Looming

by Rainier on Feb. 17, 2009 @ 3:37 p.m. PST | Filed under News

Red Mile Entertainment's latest fiscal statement reveals that the publisher is in a bad financial position with barely $341k in cash, which it expects to run out of Mar. 31, 2009.

Red Mile is in dire need of $10 million to finish current developments, like Sin City: The Game, or it will be forced to shut down.
