The company met its demise after going through a legal battle with Yoshiki Tanaka over a breach of licensing terms for the Legend of Galactic Heroes franchise and had to cancel most of the major titles it was developing at the time, as well as shut down its Legend of Galactic Heroes VII online game. As a result, Bothtec was on the verge of bankruptcy and was acquired by BBMF in 2005. In 2006, Bothtec transferred all its IPs, as well as the Project EGG service to D4 Enterprise, a company established by their former employees. The following year, Bothtec stopped developing new games.
The company ultimately ceased to exist on May 1, 2009 as a result of a reverse merger between Bothtec Inc. and Bbmf Co., Ltd.
