Here his quote:

Although The Lord of the Rings: Gollum did not live up to the expectations we had for the game, we are very grateful for the opportunity and learning experience it gave us. It’s a difficult break, but also a new beginning in the already long history of Daedalic Entertainment. We greatly value each and every member of our team and it is important to us that the transition goes as smoothly as possible. Therefore, we will help our former employees to find new opportunities within our network.

It is worth mentioning that it is not the definitive end of the company, but now they are going to dedicate themselves solely to the publication of titles. So now they will only have development studies in charge. projects like surviving Deponia they will be moved to different teams, and that means that they are not discarded, there will only be a small delay while they adapt.
