    ...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.

    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.

    @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.
