They had horrible customer support, never gave some customers the product(s) they paid for, and they made slow, shoddy tools.
I have never bought anything from them so I didn't know squat about their products and customer service... too bad if they both really were so bad.
It was only a matter of time before their inane business practices caused them to collapse.
Hmmm...
All Aliencodec products are now owned by The Game Creators Limited.
We will update this site in January 2006 to restore the AC forums and shopping system.
The above doesn't really seem to me like "collapse" and "out of business"... more like bigger company buying them and AC making some money in the process. Also if they will re-appear in jan it means that they will probably make more products but now just under TGC flag.
