38 Studios

38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, was an American entertainment and IP development company founded in 2006 by Major League Baseball pitcher Curt Schilling and named for his jersey number. Originally based in Massachusetts, the company moved to Rhode Island as part of securing $75 million in loans from that state's quasi-public Economic Development Corporation (EDC). In February 2012, the company released its only title, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a single-player action role-playing video game for several platforms. The game got mixed reviews, some very negative and some very positive, and sold an estimated 330,000 copies in its first month. 38 Studios folded a few months later. The failure of the controversial Rhode Island loan has spurred investigation by the news media and the government.
