Hi,
Okay so the last I heard their were rumours that UBI had contacted Eidos about a takeover bid, and I was sure the last I remember seeing (and you'd think this would have been a huge ttlg thread if it had happened) was that UBI didnt buy out Eidos.
So anyway, there I was looking at the UBI Official Support Site, and as I'm browsing through their technical support FAQs
(

I start noticing all these Eidos titles among UBIs own (Thief, Deus Ex, Hitman to name a few).
So errm, did I miss the announcment that UBI bought out Eidos? :confused: (i did a quick ttlg forum search and nothing came up on the first results page, i'd have thought if it did happen there'd be about 400 pages by now.......)

Weird.
Nothing on wiki saying that. Only the fact that Eidos has ties to Warner.
Quote:
In December of 2006,Time Warner's Warner Bros. Entertainment has bought a 10.3% stake in SCi Games, including sister company, Eidos. Part of the deal between the two companies includes an arrangement with Eidos to make Warner Bros. its primary U.S. distributor, providing warehousing, logistics, merchandising and media buying services.

Very odd, indeed.

I suppose that this means in Batman 3 we'll be seeing Bruce Wayne playing Tomb Raider in the batmobile.

there was something on the steam forums about it as both of them have signed up to distribute games via steam, but didn't bother to read it.
theres nothing about a merger or take over on ubisofts corporate site.
