message: It may have literally 'closed its doors' (i.e. not let its employees in) on December 18th, but its closure as a company is NOT confirmed. Read the Eurogamer article properly, please. THANKS!
There has been no official closure announced by the company. Its only a few sources saying its closed  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.222.168 (talk) 14:02, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Closure

message: On July 30, Crytek sold the Homefront IP and its related assets to Deep Silver. Deep Silver said that development of the game will continue at a new studio called Deep Silver Dambuster Studios, which happens to be the renamed and repurposed Crytek UK. This would indicate that Crytek sold its UK studio (unsure if its other IPs, such as Second Sight, Timesplitters and Haze were sold along with it). So should Crytek UK be renamed Deep Silver Dambuster Studios.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Razzamatazz Buckshank (talk • contribs) 16:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it is not re-named. Crytek specifically said that they were laid off, but did not say whether Crytek UK was shut down for good, implying they still own whatever's left. ViperSnake151  Talk   21:19, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody knows about the legal details how this deal was settled. It's also not important. Public Reception is that Crytek sold the studio to Deep Silver, Crytek itself wrote "the Homefront team from Crytek's Nottingham studio would transfer their talents to Koch Media in compliance with English law and continue their hard work on upcoming shooter". The same guys are working under a new name at their former offices. This isn't different from the transition from Free Radical Games to Crytek UK or Volition, Inc. to Deep Silver Volition, LLC. -- 89.13.200.73 (talk) 09:12, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Since when is it alright to remove an entire page including a lot of inromation about a company once it went through acquisition? Besides, Free radical was a company run by different people, doing entirely different projects than Crytek UK. This was vandalism at best. If you guys are going to redirect/rename the page to Deep Silver Dambuster Studios, like you did with FRD to Crytek UK before, then please at least this time retain the info instead of erasing it out of existance. Maybe someone will also have the time now to restore the original information about Free Radical and their project. Either way I hope that removing the FRD page was no Crytek management decision or something like that, considering how maliciously it was performed. Kulmanseidl (talk) 20:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing the original information about Free Radical, after it was acquired by Crytek, was vandalism 

message: this article should be merged into Dambuster Studios it is the same company, the closure and new founding are speculation Norschweden (talk) 00:50, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources speak of a transfer from Crytek UK to a new subsidiary entitiy of Deep Silver, clearly pointing out that Crytek UK closed down or was closing down. Corporate records also show the new company being incorporated on the given date, and the old one filing a voluntary strikeoff. IMO it would be wrong to merge these articles.
