It seems to be the latest trend for the bigger companies to consolidate, merge, and buy up all the little developers
on their way. As the industry grows and expands, like all businesses, the larger ones must consume the smaller
companies in their global conquest. Square Enix, itself a recent merger, has announced its plans to buy
Taito, who are famous for Space Invaders, as well as my personal favorite
Nintendo game of all time, Bubble Bobble (wish I still had that). If the buyout goes through, this would make Square
Enix a larger force to be reckoned with, but also it would make for a funny amalgamation of three company names. I
personally like NetJak's proposal of calling the company
Tai-Squenix, but that may just be because I cannot think of a good one, myself.
Can you come up with a creative name for the new company?
