A subsequent partnership between Nintendo, Konami, and Silicon Knights led to the release of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.

[3]In 2019, Dyack explained that the dissolution from Nintendo occurred because at the time, the company wanted to focus on party games with their upcoming console the Wii and he felt it did not fit Silicon Knight's portfolio.

Silicon Knights was ordered to destroy all copies of existing titles using the engine, as well as in-development games The Sandman, Siren in the Maelstrom and The Box/Rytualist.

[2] Talking to IGN in 2019, Dyack expressed regrets over the lawsuit not just because of the loss but also the fact he underestimated the amount of time it took to settle the litigation.

[6] Shortly after Silicon Knights filed a new appeal in the Epic Games case, the closure of the company was announced in the media in May 2013.

[2][7] In October 2012, Kotaku published an article by Andrew McMillen, entitled "What Went Wrong With Silicon Knights' X-Men: Destiny?".

McMillen sought out responses from Dyack but none of the members of Silicon Knights' management team responded to his request for comment at the time.

[8][9] During the Kickstarter campaign for Shadow of the Eternals in May 2013, Dyack was asked to respond to the article by Precursor CEO Paul Caporicci.

It was cancelled when the controversy started pouring in, although Precursor chief operating officer Shawn Jackson assured it was due to the studio wanting to scale down the project.

Around the same time, former Silicon Knights staff and Precursor founder Kenneth McCulloch was arrested on child pornography charges, upon which the company immediately severed ties.

[15] In late 2014, Dyack announced the formation of Quantum Entanglement Entertainment, Inc., with the aim of restarting production on Shadow of the Eternals as well as potentially expanding the IP into movies and television.

Dyack announced his new company Apocalypse Studios and with it a new free-to-play role-playing game for the PC titled Deadhaus Sonata.

Dyack was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Character or Story Development by Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences for his work on Eternal Darkness.
