Havas Rising

Havas Interactive has become the largest publisher of consumer PC software in the US market. For the first six months of 2000 the company saw sales climb 33 percent versus the same period last year, with net sales reaching $243 million. These gain were driven by the success of Diablo II, which has become the fastest selling computer game ever, and the success of Flipside.com, which has become one of the ten largest properties on the Internet.
