 Wired News: Spelling Selling Virgin Interactive
Virgin Interactive, meanwhile, has found itself in a tangled romantic web, with Spelling owning about 90 percent of the company and cable-colossus Viacom owning the remainder.
Kris Kraves, a spokeswoman for Virgin Interactive, wants to be more helpful, but she's prevented by mysterious forces (her bosses) from discussing details of the Spelling sell-off or how this will affect Virgin's operations.
Although Bushkin declines to say how much Spelling's stake in Virgin is worth, or whether a prospective suitor is now waiting in the wings, she notes that the actual sell-off could take "several months." Bushkin adds that it's not known as yet what Viacom will do with its Virgin shares.

French publisher Titus Interactive has rebranded its distribution subsidiary as Avalon Interactive, putting the long-standing Virgin Interactive name, once one of the industry's biggest publishers, to rest at last after years of difficulties.
Titus has also reached an agreement with the creditors of Virgin Interactive which will see the company's debts being spread out over the course of 60 monthly payments.
This is an ignominious end for the Virgin Interactive name - the publisher was once seen as a major rival to Electronic Arts, and was responsible for franchises such as Command and Conquer and the Capcom titles in the west.

It's been a while since I actively hated Virgin though I know there are plenty of people left to carry the torch.
Probably the single biggest problem at Virgin which I think was a big factor in lots of the other problems was that the boss was not a gamer in any way shape or form.
When it became close to the end of the project he would personally take home the game and play it and if he found something he thought was frustrating or no fun he would make the development staff change it.
