Heroes Over Europe and Ashes Cricket 2009 developer Transmission Games has apparently closed. Tsumea (http://www.tsumea.com/australasia/australia/news/201009/transmission-games-goes-into-receivership-sheds-staff), along with several other (http://www.australiangamer.com/news/2567_transmission_games_stops_transmitting.html) Australia-based outlets, report the Melbourne developer just couldn't survive its very bad year. Allegedly, payments from failed publisher Red Mile (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/17/red-mile-sinking-sin-city-heroes-over-europe-release-in-questi/) never materialized and contracts, concerning a now-canceled Red Tails game for LucasArts, weren't properly concluded.
The news of the shutdown comes weeks after the company laid off 30 of its staff (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/02/report-transmission-games-ceases-communication-with-more-than-2/). We'll update if Transmission offers an official statement.
