Romania's games market reachedEUR18 million in 2010, and Best Distribution expects it to be flatthis year.
"We were disappointed by the firstquarter. Sales dropped by 10% from the same period of last year,largely because of the lack of major titles and launches," statedAllardin, specifying she expected the market to rebound, the moreso as Diablo III game is set to be launched in the last quarter ofthe year.
