It's safe to say that the latest James Bond game, 'World of Espionage', was a bit of a flop. Developed by the same studio that created Kim Kardashian's app, the latest 007 digital outing was exclusively for mobile.
�A lot of these bigger firms are not terribly interested in licences now,� Curve Digital Entertainment boss Dominic Wheatley told MCV.
�There is a completely justifiable arrogance from the bigger companies who are saying that they don�t need a movie licence. They have Assassin�s Creed and Call of Duty, they have their own IP, so why should they promote someone else�s brand? That is an incredible coming of age for the games industry.
�But I�d be very happy to have a James Bond licence. We could do a cracking game around that. These are opportunities that might be overlooked by the bigger firms.�
Long time Bond gamers may recognise the name. Dominic Wheatley was one of the co-founders of computer game house Domark, who released several 007 titles in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
