Philos Laboratories (also known as Philos Laboratories Software Developer Ltd. or Philos Labs and later Philos Entertainment, Inc) was a Hungarian computer software development company known for working with producer Ubisoft and CDV Software Entertainment.[1]
The company was founded in 1995 by John (Zsolt) Vamosi, working mostly on making graphics for advertisements. In 1997, several developers of the game Perihelion: The Prophecy were hired, and they started making their first title, what would become Theocracy.[2]
It was eventually disbanded in 2004, amid lawsuits of software piracy and much debated financial ventures.[3]
