"Canadian game and peripheral publisher Hip Interactive has announced that it has lapsed into insolvency, following news that the company had delayed its financial results, expected to show a loss before income taxes of between $20 and $21 million, and further problems leading to the CFO's resignation late last week...

Hip Interactive’s product line includes a significant range of peripherals and controllers under the Hip Gear name, though Hip had recently been making a larger push into console and PC game publishing, with titles including Pariah, Playboy: The Mansion, and Stolen.

The company was also in the process of funding the publishing of the forthcoming Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End, developed by Headfirst Productions, and George Romero's City of the Dead, developed by Kuju Entertainment, among others. It is currently unclear what will happen to Hip's in-development titles."
 
I wonder if it was the big push into publishing that killed them? Their peripherals always seemed to sell well. Not the best quality goods, but the price sure was right.

That's what they get for turning CT Special Forces into another faceless military Xbox fps. Serves 'em right.
