...That doesn't mean there's no more Eidos though, as far as I'm aware. Also, was there any need for that many '!' in the title?

They were purchased by Square months ago, and this has been known openly for just as long.  Today's announcement is just that Eidos (as a publisher) will cease to exist, with some assets being merged into Square-Enix Europe.  Eidos will remain as a brand (packaging, credits etc.) while Eidos studios, such as Crystal Dynamics, will report to Square Europe.

It's like Maxis who were bought by EA back in '99 but their logo only stopped appearing on The Sims Series a couple of years back. The fact that The Sims 2 then became shit with all the Stuff packs etc. was a complete coincidence.

Actually, no, the Eidos name will not remain as a brand. All game packaging will now have the Square Enix name on them. The Eidos name will continue to live on through various game development studios (Eidos Shangai, Eidos Hungary, and Eidos Montreal), however.

this only means the boss at the top of it all changes, the rest stays the same.

@Axersia: I thought they had some sort of co-branding plan (like separate developer and publisher images on packaging), but all I know of today's annoucement was a quick look at the Joystiq post so maybe I missed something.
