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 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]
