Det succesfulde firma Shiny Entertaiment, der bl.a. har stået bag titler som Earthworm Jim, MDK, Messiah og Sacrifice er til salg. Interplay er ganske enkelt nødt til at sælge, hvis de skal holde hovedet oven vande.
Herve Caen havde følgende at sige om salget:
"Although the transaction is not complete and is subject to definitive agreements and satisfaction of various closing conditions, we envision this initiative as a key element in our future growth plans, providing the potential source of funding as Interplay builds on its leadership position in adventure and role-playing games on the PC and next generation consoles,"
Og han fortsætter:
"In combination with our recent cost-cutting measures and management reorganization, this transaction would further strengthen our balance sheet going forward. Games upcoming for release in the second quarter will be the first steps in our renewed growth efforts."
Det firma der evt. køber Shiny Entertainment får et af de mest eftertragtede spil, nemlig spil versionen af den højeksplosive film The Matrix. Vi holde øje med udviklingen.
