    Eidos Interactive

    Company »

    Eidos was an English based developer and publisher behind such games as Tomb Raider, Age of Conan, and Hitman. Since a buyout from Square Enix, the company is now know as Square Enix Europe.

    So I take it Eidos wont be advertising on this site.

    While the whole situation sucked when it happened last year, it would suck even more if the editors on Giant Bomb would sink so low as to review a game without an open mind. I come here because I respect the integrity of the people involved, and if they were to automatically give an Edios game a bad score just because it's an Edios game, well then I would lost a bit of respect for them.

    Jeff wouldn't give an eidos game a 0 or do anything else to taunt them. If the eidos thing is true he would propably just not post anything about their games. He is a professional reporter and would not do something like that.

    Dude its a joke , we all realize that Jeff wouldn't actually post a bs review because he doesn't like a company. 

    Why so serious? (not a joker reference)

    I don't particularly believe that Eidos is banned from advertising on this site...If Eidos wants to advertise on this site they'd have to bid just like everyone else...why turn them down? Because of a dispute in the past with gamespot? LOL That does not even make sense.

    Eidos still publishes quality games, btw

    Yes it makes perfect sense, they said they would end the contract of advertising, if Jeff wasn't fired. So why would Jeff want to advertise their product?

    Source of this information? That is just rumor as far as I know. I am not doubting that was the case, it very well may be.

    I highly doubt Giant Bomb is going to turn down money from any Publisher, it just does not make any sense from a business standpoint....that's like slamming your doors on thousands of dollars...Eidos will just have to accept the fact that Giant Bomb is going to review the game the way they see fit. The only situation I can see arise from any of this is Eidos not submitting a bid @ all.

    In regards to the comments about Eidos not apporaching GB...watch the video with the straightjacket.  Ryan recieves an early copy of the game along with swag.  Although the fact that they think that Alex Navarro works there is pretty funny.

    Oh you're right.  It is Square Enix.  Warner owned something like 20% of Eidos before the buyout, so I was 80% mistaken.

    Eidos Interactive was bought by Square Enix Europe and will probably lose their publishing name next year. So, this point is mute.

    Wow this thread sure does like getting long ass bumps, But alluding to the whole Gamespot incident i dont think it was ever actually confirmed more than likely for legal reasons. But its seems the most likely what with the majority of reviewers leaving not to soon after that.
