If made decides to not work at the company, there are possibilities:

1. - A relative takes the company.

2. - Mat's son takes the company.

3. - Nitrome is sold to another company.


 * 1) 3 is the most likely. Nitrome being sold to another company can have good or bad results. Nitrome could be merged with Miniclip, which would cause Nitrome games to no longer exist - the Nitrome staff would just work on what games they are assigned to from Miniclip. However, Nitrome's success really depends on what company it is sold to.

I've heard of Nintendo, and how they made Hanafuda cards. However, they aren't 200 years old - they are 124 years old. Source: Nintendo Wikipedia article
