Since January 2008 10Tacle stocks plunged from its former high of 14€/share down to a historical low of less than 1€. Cause of the problem was twofold, various properties sold below expectations (Jack Keane, Warfront: Turning Point, Panzer Tactics) while other high profile/expensive titles (Elveon, Totems) got delayed. In March 2008 CEO Michele Pes was replaced by Joachim Magin who laid off 25% of its employees in a restructuring effort and canceled the acquisition of The Games Company. Fate of titles such as Black Prophecy, Elveon, Totems (
studio had to shut down), Codename Panzers: Cold War is unknown.

Ubisoft claims the leak was downloaded 700,000 times, costing the publisher millions of dollars, and is suing for breach of contract and negligence, asking for $10 million each.
