o U.K. Game
Developer Argonaut Games Goes Up for Sale, CEO Resigns
London -- U.K.-based video game publisher Argonaut Games, which
developed titles based on "Harry Potter" for Electronic Arts and
last week laid off about 100 employees and shut its studio in
Sheffield, has announced that it is now seeking a buyer for the
company. Argonaut also said that CEO Jeremy San and board member
Aaron San have both resigned. The company's three subsidiaries --
Argonaut Software Limited, Just Add Monsters Limited and Morpheme
Limited -- were placed on sale by administrators on Friday.
"Administrators are confident that an early sale can be finalized.
An early sale is always desirable in this sector to minimize any
disruption to ongoing games development, to the staff and to the
customers," David Rubin & Partners said in a statement. Fellow U.K.
game developer Eidos, known for its "Tomb Raider" franchise, has
also put itself up for sale in recent weeks.
