Eidos’s PR Marketing / Sales department Laid Off?
According to an Inside source at 1up the entire PR, marketing, and sales department at Eidos has been laid off as part of a big deal with Warner Bros.
Warner Bros plans to get very cozy with the North American portions of SCi’s distribution chain. While it’s been understood for a while now that Time Warner has been actively seeking a way to increase the reach of its digital properties, the move comes at a very interesting time. Recently the media world has seen a lot of centralization and blurring of the lines between the games and entertainment business, with big entertainment distributors making grabs for hot properties at every turn. Maybe John Riccitello was onto something when he mused recently about Hollywood getting all nervous about the influence videogames have over the mass market?
