SCi CEO Phil Rogers said, "Selling the Proein business is in line with our declared strategy to have a lean and efficient approach to distribution to support our product focused, studio-led business model.
"Proein has a history of building business with Eidos and other publishers and we look forward to working with them as our distribution partner in the future."
According to SCi, Proein's gross assets as of the end of June 2008 were 8.6 million Euros.

Hey
Will they make sure a new Legacy of Kain game gets made?
Re: Hey
Unlikely, as Crystal Dynamics are doing Tomb Raider, and I really don't think Eidos are interested in getting anything else from them.
