JoWood not to be bought by Infogrames
   

That didn't take too long, did it?
<br>JoWood sent us a press release, saying that they are not interested in being bought by any company.
<br>
<br>The original text was submitted to us in German. Here's my translation attempt:
<br>
<br><em>As opposed to today's rumors in Austrian business magazines, JoWood Productions Software AG intends to continue its business on its own. However, a closer cooperation with business partners is a mid-term goal of the company. It is not an essential part of the ongoing restructuring process though.
<br>The restructuring concept that was decided upon in 2002 is being translated into action. It is advancing as planned.</em><br><br>
* UPDATE* - Oops, sorry. Didn't see that guest comment in the original rumor news post. Looks like JoWood sent out the press release in English as well. Check <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19549" target="_blank">here</a>.

That sucks.

It would have been nice if they had been bought out, that way publishing outside Germany would be reasonable. Just one mistake after another.

According to http://futurezone.orf.at/futurezone.orf?read=detail&id=149513, both statements (Infogrames connection and the intention not to sell) come from INSIDE JoWooD. Go figure *g*
