Overview
Pivotal Games Ltd was a computer game development studio formed in March 2000 by Jim Bambra, Nick Cook and Alex McLean together with 12 other ex-Pumpkin Studios veterans, and based in Bath (UK).In September 2002 they released their first title, Conflict: Desert Storm. It was part of a multi-product deal with the publisher SCi, which included two further titles within the Conflict series: Conflict: Desert Storm II: Back to Baghdad and Conflict: Vietnam.
SCi acquired the company in September 2003 and in May 2005 SCi acquired Eidos as well, through which Pivotal became part of the Eidos group.
