 Wow, a merger of sorts. Hmm, but Muskedunder Interactive doesn't make games of its own or..? Will you be working with a team from MI? Or your using them as a distribution channel of sorts?

What does it mean anyway? It's "acquired", not "aquired", right?
It means somebody bought you and you're just a small boss now?

Well if it will help FLD, it's good.
I still need more explaination.
