News Corp and Eidos Slam Buyout Rumour

Blue Ray writes "Both News Corp and Eidos have openly rubbished claims the the Murdoch behemoth will soon be absorbing the British publisher, corroborating a snippet in the Guardian's market forces column. In an article on SPOnG.com, News Corp stated "we've never held any kind of talks with Eidos", while an Eidos executive told the website "We read this and were astounded. We had no contact from the journalist who wrote the story and we are still laughing about what we read.""

Setting the record straight

[TyrionEagle]

Just for the record, the original, wrong, story appeard on GamesIndustry.biz first and was copied across the Internet by other websites who are impressed by GI's URL. GI has NO association with any gaming industry institutions what so ever. GI is mostly one bloke in his room re-writing press releases.

I still don't know why /. posts so many of GI's stories in the games section, they'd be better off tracking down the original press release.
