Do you approve of Square Enix's acquisition of Eidos?
Well it's almost been a year since the acquisition and Eidos is already kinda in the history books. Eidos was a top Western developer/publisher and now merging with the Japanese megagiant Developer/Publisher has brought about some massive changes. Initially SE said that it would allow Eidos to continue Dev/Pub and wouldn't meddle in it's affairs, but since then SE has had a change of heart and merged Eidos with SE Europe and completely abolished Eidos as a Publisher. Now i ask you (cause if your on a final fantasy forum chances are you've supported Square through thick and thin) if you think SE should have just left Eidos alone. Me personally think this should never have happened. SE has been pumping out lack-luster games of late and the way Wada is talking nowadays i think he wants to move away from tradition Japanese roots to appeal to the broader audience(For the $$$ of course). Then again on the flip side Eidos will have more funding and with the merger a bit more personnel and of course SE will provide better advertising campaign and more Flesh time around media outlets. looking at Deux Ex: Human Revolution I gotta say I'm mighty impressed. But still.... it will seem wiered when you pick up a game and instead of Eidos on the bottom right corner, we'll see the oh-too-recognizable logo of SE!
How do You feel?
