Activision acquires new personal.
Today Activision has announced that it has acquired Return to Castle Wolfenstein developer Gray Matter Interactive Studios. Return to Castle Wolfenstien was one of the best selling PC games of the year 2001. This doesn’t really mean that Xbox gets RTCW but there is a chance."Activision has had a long-standing relationship with the principals at Gray Matter beginning in 1998 with the development of id Software’s Quake II Mission Pack: The Reckoning, said Ron Doornink, president and COO of Activision. "Gray Matter’s proven track record in creating some of the most memorable PC action games is aligned with Activision’s strategy to acquire companies with a history of creating high-quality products that over time can enhance the company’s financial operating model. Gray Matter has a very talented team of programmers, designers, and artists and we are confident that the studio’s development strengths will further establish Activision as a leader in the PC action genre.
