Eidos’ Annual General Meeting Today

Eidos’ Annual General Meeting Today is today’s industry move, and it is one more reminder that the games business is growing up fast, whether it is ready or not.

Eidos plc, one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, announces that at Eidos’ Annual General Meeting being held today at 2:30pm the Chairman, Ian Livingstone, will make the following statement regarding current trading: “As we said at the time of our First Quarter results announcement for the three months ended 30 June 1999, the summer months are traditionally a quiet time for the industry, although the second quarter has seen the release of two strong titles, Braveheart and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. We have a highly anticipated line-up of games still to come in this fiscal year, including Power.

It is business news, sure, but these moves shape what games get made, what stores carry them, and who is still standing next year.
