'Bionic Commando' (ALL) Developer in Financial Trouble, Closure Looming?

Swedish developer GRIN has been around for over a decade, founded in 1997, but it was not until 2006's PC edition of Ubisoft's GRAW that it became widely known. Shortly thereafter, it grew rapidly, opening offices in Barcelona and Gothenburg, to deal with a slew of high-profile titles (Bionic Commando, Wanted, Terminator) in development. However, sales on all of them were disappointing, and earlier this year GRIN closed all but its main office in Stockholm, which is now also rumored to be in trouble, with employees being asked to not come to work.
