Infogrames confirms rejected SCi attempted purchase
And playing the part of the jilted lover in today's episode of As The Game Industry Turns is Infogrames, as the company confirmed that while it recently offered to purchase Eidos-owner SCi, the Atari-parent saw its bid turned aside "at this stage."
The timing of the news is particularly interesting, given that SCi last week said that it had rejected an unspecified acquisition offer, though it remains unknown if the publisher was talking about Infogrames or some other mystery suitor. Not long after, SCi accepted a £60 million investment from Warner Bros. as part of what it called a strategic relationship.
We know how you feel Infogrames (or is it Atari?). You put yourself out there, and you're vulnerable. But thankfully, it's not as if you don't have options.

If I wanted to hear about Video games and stocks, it'd better be about Super Market Crash: Rogue Analyst on the Nintendo Wii!
Y'know, the one with the pointy haired guy who uses magic powers to pick stocks and destroys evil Alien companies by buying them out, with a market value reducing laser beam.

Plus Atari needs all the help they can get.
