Who do I have to kill to get you people to understand my point of view?
(that was a joke)

SE opened a new studio in Montreal called "Square Enix Montreal". They're developing a next-gen Hitman game as well as aiding Eidos Montreal with some future projects. The team is made up of plenty of Eidos development staff. Would that studio count as a "Square Enix developer" in your eyes?

Because that's pretty much what the Japan-based developers are. They're studio that have SE in their names with a Production team # attached to it. Tommarrow if SE felt like changing the name of one of their western studios to have Square Enix in it, they can. You know why? BECAUSE THEY OWN THEM.

Just how the gaming community bitches to EA when Biware or DICE do something they don't like, the same treatment is sent towards Square Enix when of their Eidos studios messes up (Dues Ex:HR bosses come to mind). Hope that cleared thing up for ya!
