Psygnosis and Activision today jointly announced that they have entered into an exclusive two-year distribution agreement whereby Activision will sell and distribute all of Psygnosis’ PlayStation game console and PC CD-ROM entertainment software titles in North America. The agreement, which is effective as of February 1, 1999, makes Psygnosis Activision’s first domestic affiliate label. Psygnosis will continue to market and promote its titles through its Foster City publishing division.
For January 1999, this is the business side of gaming doing what it always does: studios forming, publishers moving money around, lawsuits flying, and everyone promising the next big thing. Somewhere in that mess, players eventually get the games. Maybe.
