Eidos directors paid bonuses

are reporting that, despite Eidos finishing the last financial year over £30m in the red, the company's directors took home £7.5m in bonuses, more than the previous (more profitable) year! You can't help but wonder if that money wouldn't have been better spent keeping afloat Looking Glass Studios, the development company behind the innovative Thief series, which was recently forced to close down after a deal with Eidos fell through due to the publisher's ailing fortunes.

Eidos are currently a target for acquisition, with Infogrames and Electronic Arts amongst the front-runners to attempt a buy out the British publisher, best known for the fading Tomb Raider franchise.
