GRIN Founders Says Square Enix to Blame for Closure

In an interview with Swedish tabloid website, Aftonblade, GRIN founders Ulf and Bo Andersson have spilled the beans on exactly how the studio’s downfall came about – blaming a majority of what transpired on bumbling, idiotic moves by publisher Square Enix during the development of Final Fantasy XII, also accusing them of not paying them what they were promised as development continued. Additionally, the Brothers Andersson claim that Square requested that the developer FAX the game’s code and music files to them… Unless Square has some sort of new FAX technology, last time we checked that is just not possible!

“It is as silly as it sounds,” said Bo Andersson. “It is an impossible requirement, you can not send ASCII or binary codes on the fax. It is backward. Really retarded. It was almost a criminal activity.”

GRIN was founded in 1997 and had worked on a multitude of titles, including the PC version of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, Bionic Commando, and Wanted: Weapons of Fate.
