After the success of "Star Control II", Accolade offered Reiche and Ford the same budget to produce another sequel, which they turned down to pursue other projects. Toys for Bob proceeded to release "Pandemonium!" and "The Unholy War", and eventually took on a series of contracts for licensed work through the early 2000s. By 2002, Toys for Bob parted ways with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Interactive, and began seeking a new publisher. After completing "Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure" (under the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" license), Reiche had all-but released "Madagascar" when publisher Activision fully acquired his company, in May 2005. What had begun as a partnership had evolved into a division of Crystal Dynamics, then a corporation, and finally a studio within Activision.
