“As you may have heard in the news, we were acquired by Zynga back on March 2nd,” Schaefer said.
“As a result of this transition, we are moving on to new (and exciting) things, and we will be passing the baton back to our partners at Perfect World.
“We absolutely enjoyed our time with Torchlight 3, and only hope for the best for the future of the franchise. We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on it. But more than that, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of you who took this journey with us. We had ups and downs, but through it all, we learned so much, and a lot of that credit goes to all of you. Through thick and thin, you gave generously of your time, provided expert and valuable feedback, and made the trip enjoyable and worthwhile for all of us at Echtra.
