LEGO Media International was a publishing company division of the LEGO Group. Later LEGO Software, later LEGO Interactive (pick which name to go with? Interactive was the most recent name but Media is the better known one and they published non-game stuff back then too). It was later shut down and people from it formed Giant Interactive Entertainment, which later merged into Traveller's Tales.

History

In December 2001 Electronic Arts signed an agreement with the LEGO Group to co-publish video games with LEGO Software. Electronic Arts would also provide marketing and support for over thirty LEGO Software titles for the next three years to promote LEGO games to older audiences. The agreement included titles from the Bionicle, LEGO Island, and LEGO Racers series, as well as LEGO Sports, Galidor, and the unreleased Academy of Flight.[1]
