computerandvideogames.com wrote:Japanese powerhouse Square Enix has made a bid to acquire British Tomb Raider house Eidos, it's been confirmed.
The Final Fantasy company has made a firm bid of around £84m, stating that Eidos' roster of franchises - including Tomb Raider and Kane & Lynch - are "highly complementary to our business and will accelerate our aggressive expansion into Western markets." [...]
I remember that a couple of years ago I read somewhere that Eidos is worth at least £150m, guess financial crisis is what sank them.
The supposed consequence of takeover:

User K^2 from Eidos Forums wrote:That's just one of the changes required by the new specs sent to Eidos Montreal. Other notable changes:
- Adam is now a teenager.
- Option to play as male or female is cut. Instead, Adam will look like both.
- Bio-cells will now store mana.
- Certain augs will now have a level requirement.
- The retractable sword arm aug is increased in size to house a bigger sword.
- Tentacle aug is removed, because in Japan, anything with tentacles is an automatic AO rating.
- One of the bosses is now a giant crustacean.

I was going to post it but I figured no point considering it hasn't happened yet.
Also, the main consequence would be BELTS AND ZIPPERS

Regeneration:
Heavily wounded ? You think to have no chance ? This augmentation let you fuck yourself, have a baby and teach him everything you know so that you can fuck up a new hermaphrodite robot.

Eidos Montreal is most likely a subsidiary, so it's being included into the deal as well.

I take it the development team doesn't change, so it doesn't really matter?

Of course. Deus Ex 3 team might even gain some resources to help.
