In February 2001, BAM! Entertainment Limited, the British subsidiary of BAM! Entertainment, entered into a distribution deal with French publisher Ubi Soft which would allow them to distribute BAM!’s games in the entirety of Europe except for the United Kingdom.
In 2002, BAM! started to suffer from financial problems, which led to the NASDAQ threatening to delist the company.
In April 2003, the company’s London-based development studio was purchased by VIS Entertainment,however, VIS later announced that the studio would close following the completion of its remaining projects. In the same year, following the expiration of their distribution deal with Ubi Soft, BAM! entered into a new distribution deal with Acclaim Entertainment in August.

The NASDAQ finally delisted BAM!’s stock in the same year.VIS Entertainment was placed into bankruptcy in April 2005; BAM! then sold the rights to VIS’s State of Emergency 2 to DC Studios in May that year and filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter.
