SCi, parent company of Eidos and owner of the Tomb Raider franchise, is being forced to cut jobs and cancel many projects in order to stay afloat.

 

Read more sequels and fewer new ips.

Read, we're gonna milk these for all their worth then when the cows dry sell them off so someone else can have a go.

How long will it be until all mainstream producers subscribe to EAs model of business and just produce sequel after sequel

 

Well, I won't object to more Hitman games... but if new Deus Ex games are as poor as Invisible War...

 

Yeah. DX2 was a steaming pile. It seems that every so often, Eidos produces HORRID games. Anybody remember TR:AOD, too?

 

Oh godalmighty - Deus Ex is not a "core brand", it's a computer game. An extremely good one whose legacy was completely buggered by exactly the sort of people who would call it a core brand.

Do these people not understand what's wrong with their thinking?

 

Eidos can do what ever they want as long as they don't mess with my girl lara!
