The company imploded before Douglas died. The dotcom collapse was the final nail. Also Douglas being far more wrapped up in trying to get the film made probably didn't help. He had moved to America and was barely involved with TDV after the game. I was in charge of douglasadams.com and was a coder on h2g2.com. I left the company a year or so before h2g2 was sold to the BBC and the ill fated Hitchhikers game moved to its own company.
