Despite having all of its hit points
gobbled up by Square Enix,
Eidos still expects to remain autonomous of its new parent company, saying in a
press release that Eidos will continue to function as "an independent operation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary" of the role-playing giant. To drive this home, Phil Rogers will stay on as the CEO at Eidos, where he will report directly to Square Enix boss Yoichi Wada, who calls the union an "international marriage." Aww, we forgot to bring a gift.
Eidos was
finally acquired by the Japanese company last week for £84 million. However, despite our suggestions to the contrary, the British pub will still answer to the name Eidos instead of adopting something a bit more creative.

Similar to Taito, but only British this time.

The reason they didn't take your name is it's way too long. Should have suggested Sqeidox.

You just created a Pokemon. +1 for you. :-)

Seconded.
Squeidox sounds much better.

...Still wish Tecmo had agreed to the buyout last year.
That would have been epic.

I'm sure Square will still command them to make another Legacy of Kain. That's really what they bought them for.

We can only hope.
The biggest problem with the series though, is that you need to have played *all* five games in order for any of it to make any sense. I'd love to see a sequel that finishes up everything. But if we do get one, I can see it being massively dumbed down and unreleated to the current Kain storyline.. In which case, what's the point?
