SCi Entertainment Group CEO Phil Rogers, whose company owns Eidos, said the publishing company needs to lose its ruth, so to speak. Speaking to MCV, Rogers said, "In today's environment of lengthening development cycles and increasing costs, we need to be more ruthless and focus on our quality titles."
Rogers also said that, on a whole, Eidos has released "too many average games which are tying up resources." We think Rogers is either really pushing for a new company direction or he's using tough words to drive up stock prices further for an oft-speculated takeover. In either sense, if he keeps to his word (that's a big "if"), it bodes well for secret project T.

This is good. It's the Jerry Maguire business model; less clients and more care. Look at makers like Blizzard and Bungie, the market isn't flooded with their games, but the ones they do have are mega-blockbusters.
I only really spend time and concentrate on maybe six games a year; they're not like movies where I watch three or four a week. In the games industry, less is more.

If "more ruthless" = "more Hitman" then count me in.
