NBC and Time Warner Gaze Longingly at SCi, Offer Money in Exchange for Portions of Its Body
April 17, 2008 | 12:54 PM PST

by: Nathan Grayson

SCi. Depending on who you ask, it can mean a lot of things. In fact, I'm sure words are flashing into your mind right now -- things like "Tomb Raider," "Kane and Lynch," "Gerstmanngate," and "Sarcastic Canadian interloper." Really though, SCi hasn't exactly been on top of its game lately, having recently sacked a quarter of its workforce and canceling 14 projects.

It makes sense, then, that SCi might need a little financial backing, and lucky for them, both Time Warner and NBC are in the mood for a piece of the slowly deteriorating pie. As of now, Time Warner already holds a 10 percent stake in SCi, and, if they have their way, that stake will grow exponentially. Meanwhile, NBC Universal, a relative newcomer in this tale of intrigue, endeavors to take a significant minority holding in the company, which I figure is worlds beyond their current insignificant nonexistent non-holding.

For SCi's sake, I hope one of these suitors is successful in their bid, because Lara Croft, Kane, Lynch, and Agent 47 are having a difficult time both treading water and holding up a slowly sinking ship. Plus, this might free-up a few precious pennies with which Eidos can create a new Legacy of Kain title.

I'm sorry, that was a mean joke.
