"If an exchange between two parties is voluntary, it will not take place
unless both believe they will benefit from it. Most economic fallacies
derive from the neglect of this simple insight, from the tendency to assume
that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of
another."
- Milton Friedman

Couldn't believe it! I read much about them back in GDC 2008, now they're gone. Hopefully a new studio will emerge out of this.

- according to this daily gamedev ( http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=544230 ), a number of the grin employees has started Outbreak Studios. So good luck with that

Harsh Times indeed.
