EIDOS ACQUIRES BLUEFISH MEDIA

For immediate release:

In addition to offering our games via Bluefish's distribution network, this acquisition also gives Eidos the ability to build on Bluefish's platform and to drive online sales in a much more aggressive way over the coming months. The Bluefish team will augment our existing staff and enable us to integrate online distribution into our operations much more tightly than would otherwise be the case.

Some say Content is King and others say Technology is everything. Bluefish brings both together, with entertaining content as well as the most stable and reliable technology to ensure a safe 24/7 online distribution on an international basis, said Cyrus Kargar, General Manager of Bluefish Media.
