Was just about to post that.
It's not a massive surprise to be honest, they must've invested a lot in APB and I seriously doubt it lived up financially to their lofty expectations. Feel a bit sorry for them, APB was built on a good idea, but it's a tough market sometimes - if you release a subpar product nobody's going to catch you at the end.
Wonder what this means for current subscribers... curtains I suspect.

They tried to give some assurances that APB would be unaffected but how many times have we seen a developer go bust and their online games collapse very soon after.
Could have been a very different story if they had gone straight onto Crackdown 2 instead.
