Sure. Eidos' main franchises are nowhere near as big as they used to be, especially Tomb Raider and Championship Manager. Best developers left the company a long time ago. Eidos themselves have a mediocre reputation. I think that about wraps it up. |
I see. Tomb Raider and other Eidos franchises have indeed lost their popularity. However, they still have this western appeal Square games lack, and still sell more than any non KH-FF related SE game does in the West. Eidos are also masters of multiplatform development, and that's exactly where Square fails at.
To me it seems like a good deal. I dont think Eidos are anything big or important nowadays, but they have worthy IPs and for a company like Square (which shows very medicore results in the West this gen) it's a very smart move to buy them.
