Eidos, Ion, & The Romero

by Steve Gibson Jun 20, 2000 8:16pm CST tags: John Romero, Daikatana, Eidos
Also, the rumor of the day about Eidos getting bought out by Infrogames has been confirmed by WellRounded to be not true. You can read the quick article over here. In addition to that, a few places have been reporting that John Romero's job is in jeapordy. Gamers.com got a quick quote from "The Romero" as they call him (heehee)

"Yes, it's complete dumb bullshit. We're #7 in one list, #10 in another, etc. We're the top shooter on the charts -- and Eidos is happy," the Romero said.
