SCi is getting
used to being on a dinner plate, so much so that the financially despondent publisher has invited Warner Bros. to the table for seconds. In the wake of the home entertainment giant's
£60 million investment earlier this year, the Eidos parent put a freeze on Warner Bros' ability to purchase any more of SCi's precious stock until January 25, 2009, a hold that
Gamasutra reports will be lifted a bit sooner than expected.
According to the report, the pair will be able to resume their financial tango on December 1, 2008, with the caveat that Warner Bros. will not be allowed to own more than 30 percent of SCi's total worth. Warner's investment in SCi currently stands at 16.13 percent, giving the media company ample opportunity to gift wrap just what every struggling company would want to find under its tree this Christmas -- freedom from financial ruin.
