Despite Kingdoms a Amalur: Reckoning selling "1.22 million copies in it be first 90 days" according t' 38 Studios head Curt Schilling, it apparently never crested the 3 million mark it needed t' break even. "The game failed, the game failed," Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee told attendees a a press conference this afternoon.

According t' "experts" speaking with Chafee's office, Reckoning needed t' sell over 3 million copies "just t' break even," never mind profit. The action RPG be released this past February t' critical praise 'n modest initial financial success. It be credited with saving Big vast Games from destruction back in 2009 when 38 Studios picked up the Baltimore studio, primarily for repurposing an already-in-production RPG into what we now know be Kingdoms a Amalur: Reckoning.

Both 38 Studios 'n Big vast Games laid off their staffs this afternoon amidst major financial trouble at 38.
