    GamesIndustry.biz says Norwegian developer Funcom is "actively seeking interested parties for discussions surrounding a possible investment, acquisition, merger, or any other available options." They say the company has debt to resolve by next June, but the recent relaunch of LEGO Minifigures Online has fallen short of expectations. "The game is currently not meeting internal revenue forecasts," Funcom said several weeks after the re-launch. "This is mostly due to low sales on the PC platform. Sales on the iOS platform have performed better, mainly due to the featuring in the Apple Store during the launch week, but as the price point of the game on this platform is lower, these additional sales are not enough to compensate for the low sales on PC for the time being."

    This should not affect TSW, as TSW is a money making title. So even in worst case scenario for FC, the live services for TSW are likely to continue, as the title is more likely to be sold than shut down.

    FC itself however will probably cease to exist as it is now, even if the company will carry on, it will without a doubt go through big changes to its structure because there is no rational investor who will invest in current cesspit.
