Investment Firm Takes Majority Stake In Eidos

Representatives from UK publisher Eidos Interactive have announced that global asset management firm Schroders has acquired a 19.1% stake in the company. The stake is spread over a number of different management funds and represents the single largest holding in the company. Officials from Schroders have played down the possibility of a takeover, claiming that its £35 million ($61m) stake is simply a sign of confidence in the company and games industry at large.
