San Francisco, CA (July 14, 2008) -- Flagship Studios has announced today that despite rumors to the contrary, the company is still operating.

旗舰工作室仍旧在运营中

即使现在有很多负面谣言，旗舰工作室今天还是要宣布公司仍旧在运营。

“很抱歉我必须宣布旗舰工作室已经解雇了大部分员工，但是我们的核心管理层以及赞助商们仍然在旗舰。”旗舰CEO比尔萝卜说，“过去的5年给了我们难以置信的经验，但是很不幸，我们无法继续支撑如此大规模的公司更长的时间。”

旗舰仍然拥有他们的技术和IP，这其中包括HGL和MYTHOS。以现在的情况，旗舰不再接受任何的新付费用户，并且现在所有的付费用户不在需要付费。

旗舰由衷的感谢那些在过去5年来一直在支持这家公司和游戏的玩家们。

后面是旗舰公司的简介，我就不翻译了

总的来说，旗舰工作室的确是裁掉了大部分的员工，但是核心队伍和赞助商还在，HGL这个游戏的线上服务器仍然运行（本人也亲自去测试过了），但是估计近期内是不会有更新了。也许这些细节的东西会让人对旗舰还抱有一丝期待，期待什么，我自己也说不清，可能是某公司赞助的HGL2，也能能是期待他们回归暴雪。总之这一切来的太突然了。胖子当年的努力和豪言现在看起来有点惨淡和悲哀，不过相信他们不会就此没落的。

顶了。虽然裁员往往是一个公司走向终结的第一步……谁知道呢？现在就等游侠的汉化1.2了……

答楼上的，3楼的意思是EA可能会买断旗舰的知识产权，也就是他们的游戏创意吧
