Mad Catz Going Into Gaming
In a brief statement, peripheral maker Mad Catz has announced its entrance into making games with a deal with Microsoft.
Mad Catz has received a licensing deal with Microsoft to make games for the Xbox 360, although no specific projects or plans have been outlined.
"The execution of the Xbox 360 Publisher License Agreement marks an important milestone as we pursue our longer term goal of expanding our participation in developing, publishing and distributing games." said Darren Richardson, the president and CEO of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc.
Could Mad Catz be looking into XBLA offerings, or will it make full-on, $60 games? Notice how Richardson mentions the company's full plans to go into publishing and distributing as well.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
