The submission describes Emergent Game Technologies, a company that effectively ceased independent operations around 2010 (assets acquired by Gamebase). The project description references outdated platforms (PS3, Xbox 360) and lists a defunct headquarters, indicating the submission is based on legacy data rather than an active, viable business. While the Gamebryo engine historically had significant traction (250+ games), the current relevance is minimal, and the submission quality is low with vague audience claims.
