Rumor: Treasure, the developer behind Gunstar Heroes, is done making new games

For years, Treasure has been consistent in developing high-quality games that were given universal acclaim. Treasure first made its mark with Gunstar Heroes, which debuted on the SEGA Genesis/ Mega Drive to high praise. Following that release, Treasure churned out a number of classics, including Alien Soldier, Guardian Heroes, Bangai-O, Ikaruga, and Wario World.

According to a recent podcast on Giant Bomb, there are rumors that Treasure might be shifting from a developer to a license holding company. Treasure has not released anything new since 2009, so it may have been inevitable for the company to go in this direction.
