I tried to make a purchase from Ambrosia last night and it appears that their payment and fulfillment systems are inoperative. I had heard that was the case but I was being optimistic. They may have gone defunct without warning at some point in 2018.
- username223 8y agoSadly, it looks like https://www.ambrosiasw.com/ https://www.ambrosiasw.com/ is now defunct. "They tried to kill it with a forklift..."
- naravara 8y agoWell, guess I’m never recovering my license key for “Escape Velocity: Nova” then Captain Hector take the wheel!
- mminer 8y agoIt’ll be a shame to lose gems like Escape Velocity. I know several people (myself included) have asked about acquiring the rights to the games but received no reply. It appears Ambrosia is indeed defunct.

- ben_w 8y agoGiven how badly my effort to make Mac shareware went back in 2010, inspired in part by their catalog (and Marathon and a few others), I’m not surprised. I wasn’t expecting a grand success, but I only made around £2000 total, including the later iOS App Store stuff. That reminds me, I need to delete those meta tags from my website…
- paradoxparalax 8y ago"I only made around £2000 total" I really, really need a "failure" like that, this trimester. Or this semester. I would accept the failure without any problem : )
- ben_w 8y agoIf I made that in a semester it would have been fine. That was about 1.5-2 years.
- jfoster 8y agoOut of interest, which app/game were you trying to purchase?
- thaumaturgy 8y agoThat's terrible news. At one time they produced some of the most polished software around.
