Talk:Decipher after the Star Wars license

Build notes

• Article created 13 Oct 2026. Most post-2002 company facts trace to Wikipedia's Decipher, Inc. article; where Wikipedia cites an archived primary source (Decipher fanhq press releases, Virginian-Pilot, Origins lists, TDmonthly), that primary is cited directly with its existing Wayback copy.
• Wikipedia pages and the ICv2 article are queued in ops/wayback/queue.txt; swap "pending" for capture links once saved.

Missing data

• Current corporate status: no dated source located for whether Decipher, Inc. is still operating (decipher.com Wayback fetch timed out during this pass). Not stated in the article.
• Exact 2007 license expiry dates for LOTR (New Line) and Star Trek (CBS/Paramount).
• WARS: Wikipedia's 2004 release/hiatus dates cite a GamingReport.com article not checked here.
• Fight Klub's end date.

Possibly faulty data

• Layoff counts differ: Wikipedia says up to 40 (2005) in one place and "more than 90" in the embezzlement section. The article uses only "up to 40", tied to the Waterside cite.

Inferences (not in article text)

• Inferred: the RPG lines likely ended for the same financial reasons as the 2005 cuts; Wikipedia only says "after a brief attempt at a resurgence in the form of digital media".
