LucasArts and Activision Agreement

Here is another piece of the September 1998 PC gaming mess. LucasArts Entertainment and Activision, two of the world’s leading developers and publishers of interactive entertainment software, jointly said they have entered into an exclusive publishing and distribution partnership in the United Kingdom and 45 additional countries including those in Scandinavia, Central Europe, the Middle East and certain African countries. The two-year deal grants Activision the rights to distribute all upcoming LucasArts’ PC games in these territories.

It may not be the biggest story of the month, but LucasArts and Activision Agreement is exactly the sort of thing PC players are tracking right now.
