I always wonder what happened with Ambrosia, they had a good library of games that they could update and could still sell but they just disappeared suddenly.

Updating and reselling their old games was the majority of their business for the last ~10 years of the company.
Their game library had some gems but they famously made most of their ga my es by ripping off other games. I’m guessing that didn’t scale.
Their biggest seller was a small Mac utility called Snapz Pro if memory serves.
They, frankly, were never a company run for anything other than milking a quick buck.
