It’s bad news as Darrell Louder, Creative Director at Greater Than Games, has confirmed that studio has closed.
In a public Facebook post, Darrell said;
I couldn’t confirm yesterday, but can today. Due to current tariff war, Flat River Group has shuttered Greater Than Games effective today. Me and my team are now unemployed and disbanded. I’m shattered.
Greater Than Games was purchased by Flat River Group in 2021.
After the purchase, a split occurred as Dice Hate Me Games broke off and did its own thing.
A press release on Greater Than Games’ website says that the company has undergone a “staff reduction” but will continue to sell products.
The problem? Trump’s tariffs.
Effective today, tabletop game publisher Greater Than Games has undergone a reduction in staff in response to ongoing economic pressures resulting from the international tariff crisis. Currently, all new projects are suspended as the global tariff situation remains volatile. However, the Greater Than Games website will remain operational, with in-stock products available to order. Goods in the current catalog will still be produced as needed. Updates will be made at a later date for customers who ordered upcoming products (crowdfunding, pre-orders).
Parent company Flat River Group will continue to support its retail and distribution partners through ongoing communication and fulfillment services, as always.
