Crave Entertainment is next to leave the ESA photo

Crave Entertainment has become the fifth company to part ways with the ESA, GamePolitics reports. Although no official announcement has been made, GP has learned from one of its sources that Crave now joins the ranks of Activison, Vivendi, LucasArts and id Software.

Crave is arguably the lowest-key departure to date. The only game I know from the company is Jade Cocoon on the PSX. Other "notable" titles from the company include Future Tactics: The Uprising and The Bible Game

Notability aside, a departure is still a departure, and yet more misfortune for the ailing ESA. At this rate, one wonders if we'll even have an E3 next year.

Are any companies even stating why there all leaving? It's gotta be something.

Fuck, I actually played Jade Cocoon. Wasn't it some kind of Pokemon rip off? I think you could merge the monsters or something.

I wasn't that impressed anyway.

Crave had Shadow Madness. What an awesome (and easy) RPG. :P

Crave also published the first version of Freedom Force by Irrational, then promptly went into Chapter 11. They've been bottom-rung for a very long time.

I remember seeing the Bible Story game at E3. It had the unfortunate position of being right next to Okami's demo area.
