T&E Soft stops?!
On the official website of T&E soft is a small announcement. Apparently things weren't going that well lately for them, so they decided to co-operate with Walt Disney Corporation. This reorganization resulted in a name-change of the company. The new name will be D(isney) Wonderland. After 20 years of entertaining people with games, it kind of feels like the end of an era.
