Guillemot acquires Hercules is today’s business-side update, the sort of suit-and-spreadsheet news that still decides what games actually reach players.

The useful part: This purchase allows Guillemot Corporation to combine its 3D technological know-how with a first rate brand, enabling the company to increase its rate of international development substantially. “Our objective in acquiring Hercules was to reinforce our products branding worldwide”, explains Claude Guillemot, President of Guillemot Corporation. “We intend to continue to build on Hercules’ name for high performance graphic products”. Established in 1982, Hercules Computer Technology Inc. Listed pricing shows $20, so this is not vapor sitting on a press sheet.
