  • Comment This was one of the two German game publishers listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The business model was publishing PC games developed by third parties. It was successful in the 1990s, but began to lose money and lay off workers around 2005. Went bankrupt in 2011. There is a list of games published here and a detailed history of its activies on the stock exchange here (both in German), and a detailed history of the company on the German Wikipedia. Notability on en Wiki would probably be as the publisher of games with articles. Someone has deleted the list of those games, and the current links are all dead. But if someone wants to recreate the article there is enough material in German. –  Margin1522 ( talk) 20:29, 16 December 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Published a few notable games in North America, including Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, which got a bit of coverage: for example, this article from IGN and this announcement from VG247. Their financial troubles also got coverage from VG247. Other brief articles [1], [2], [3], [4]. And here's a bit of an in-depth look: [5]. More available in a WP:VG/RS Google custom search.

  • Keep. The article needs work, but the sources presented by NRP above show the company is notable. -- Calidum 04:12, 29 December 2014 (UTC) reply
