Sega kjøper opp Amplitude

Utgiver Sega kunne i dag annonsere at de har gått til anskaffelse av nok et spillstudio, nemlig franske Amplitude. Spillstudioet er kjent for 'Endless'-serien med spillene Endless Space, Endless Legend og Dungeon of the Endless. Ifølge Sega Europe Ltd's President og COO Jurgen Post (via GamesIndustry) skal dette styrke Segas posisjon i PC-markedet, og nå eier de altså utviklere som Creative Assembly, Sports Interactive og Relic Entertainment i tillegg til Amplitude.

"To have the opportunity to add a studio with the growing reputation of Amplitude's, to the SEGA family, is an exciting one and reinforces SEGA Europe's position as a market leader in publishing high quality PC games."

"Culturally, Amplitude are a fantastic fit for the business as they not only produce great games, but also have a proven track record in listening to their fans and directly involving them in the ongoing development of their games through their GAMES2GETHER system."
