Game Tuesday in connection with a possible Chinese investment in embattled game developer XPEC Entertainment Inc., reports said.

Tuesday’s events were the latest in a long line of developments which started last August, when Japanese-invested Bai Chi Gan Tou Digital Entertainment Company dropped a plan to spend about NT$5 billion (US$159 million) on a stake of 25.17 percent in the gaming developer, the first-ever default on a tender offer settlement in Taiwan.

XPEC Chairman Aaron Hsu was ordered detained after several appeals by prosecutors against court decisions to set bail for the businessman.    [FULL  STORY]
