| Many people heard already about the new expansion of TQ coming out, and it wasn't just another rumor like Diablo 3 was, Iron Lore already were preparing to make the game. but, unfortunately the game won't come out, and its not because they gave up on TQ, but its because the company who developed TQ and Dawn of War's expansion: Iron Lore, been shut down. the main reason for their quit from the game market was the big piracy over their of the greatest game: TQ itself. so here their announcement of their shutting down:

"Several unrelated events occurred which resulted in Iron Lore being unable to secure funding for its next project" by their next project i think they meant to the expansion of TQ. Iron Lore was sure a great company and they had a promising future too, in the end its just a shame that such a promising company fall under the piracy's destruction so fast, i hope only the best of luck to people who worked hard to bring us the greatest RPG: TQ, and i hope to see Iron Lore creating superb games once again someday.
