While talk of a takeover of British publisher SCi continues to be tossed around, this doesn't mean that Lara Croft's troubled parent is open to shacking up with just anyone.
This week the company confirmed that it has received an offer from an unspecified suitor at a "significant premium" to SCi's current share price. However, the company stayed strong, turning away what we imagine to be bags of money emblazoned with dollar signs, claiming the offer was "not be in the best interests of the company or its shareholders." Still, with 14 projects in the vertical file and key management on the run, it might be time for SCi to lower its standards.

Well, that'll be why they turned away the money - being a British company, I'm sure they would appreciate bags emblazoned with the pound symbol.

i don't see the point of turning down a buyout offer. take the money ... go home ... have your ass sutured to the sofa ... and play games until your dead.
