Things are looking pretty dire for Funcom. Last month we learned that Lego Minifigures not only isn’t selling well, it isn’t being covered by the traditional gaming press. In an update released just a couple of days ago, Funcom announced that it has hired an outside bank to review whatever options may be available to keep the company afloat, including investments, mergers, and acquisitions.
Following the completion and launch of the LEGO Minifigures Online game, and based on the situation described in the stock notice from Funcom issued on 23 July this year, Funcom N.V. (hereafter the “Company”) has retained ABG Sundal Collier to undertake a broad review of the strategic options available to the Company. The Company is actively seeking interested parties for discussions surrounding a possible investment, acquisition, merger, or any other available options.
