On Deck, headed up by
Deer Hunter creator Robert Westmoreland, had been positioned as a sort of minor league affiliate of the Gathering label – providing licenses and technology to new development teams to create games sold at lower price points. According to reports on
Gamespot, the company is putting the closure down to the departure of Westmoreland as CEO. All current On Deck projects, including the highly anticipated
Serious Sam, will be published instead under the Gathering of Developers label.
