Square Enix just sold off Crystal Dynamics and Eidos, AND all their IP (Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Thief) for 300 million so they can instead focus on cryptocurrency.
On the one hand: new Deus Ex just became WAY more likely so YAY.
On the other hand: what the fuck are Square Enix smoking.
Square Enix always baffles me with their decisions. 300 million for the Western studios and ip's seems like a very good deal for the company that bought them. The remaster/remake/collection potential alone is already great. I fully expect these ip's to make a return in some form now, including older ones. So also Legacy of Kain and Thief.
I wish Square good luck with their crypto scams, but I doubt they will succeed, I most certainly will not spend any penny on that shit. I fully expect Square to be bought in the future.
That said, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal have been quite middling studios for a while now. I have said it before in this thread, but I thought Shadow of the Tomb Raider was dogshit and The Avengers does not look like something I want to try out, despite my love of the MCU and superhero games. Though supposedly Guardians of the Galaxy was a good game. I hope their new owners can bounce them back around to the Tomb raider 013 and Deus Ex HR/MD days.
