Long time board game publisher Mayfair Games (English-language publisher for Settlers of Catan and many more) has shut down.
All of their games have been sold to Asmodee North America, who also own Fantasy Flight Games, Z-Man Games, Rebel, Edge Entertainment, and a host of other board game companies they've picked up over the years.
[Ed Note - Asmodee NA also picked up Lookout Games at the same time. Lookout was the publisher of Agricola and Caverna.]

No. Catan is all about trading commodities with other players and jockeying to build in prime locations on the board. If you're looking for a "single-player multiplayer" game, try Agricola sometime. You each literally have your own board and are just seeing who can optimize their farm for the highest number of victory points. Most SPMP ones like that have a common market that affects the value of everybody's commodities, but not all.
