More news on the fate of Interplay to follow-up on yesterday's reports that
Titus would end up in control of the troubled game publisher (story)
as a result of a deal they signed with Vivendi Universal (story).
According to a report on MCV: "The
veteran US publisher has appointed Vivendi Universal Interactive Publishing as
its distributor in North America, although it appears that at present Titus will
continue to handle the firm's line-up in Europe." The report goes on with a
quote from Titus: "Titus' joint founder Eric Caen has confirmed to MCV that
Interplay will retain its development and publishing autonomy within the group."
Meanwhile EuroGamer
reports that CBS and Reuters incorrectly stated the deal mentioned yesterday was
between Titus and Vivendi, when it was actually between Vivendi and Interplay
(the business world can be so exciting), which means Titus will have a contract
to honor, even if it manages to take control of Interplay's board next month
(which is pretty much a given, as they are now the majority shareholder in the
company). The EuroGamer story goes on with some apparently informed speculation
that there is another possible twist in this case that could till give Interplay
a spiteful last laugh:
