SINGLE PLAYER vs GAAS | Square Enix Sells To Embracer Group (VL671)
Embracer Group "embraces" Square Enix subsidiaries Crystal Dynamics and Eidos (as well as IP like Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Legacy of Kain), while Square Enix "embraces" an entirely different view of the future.
What does this acquisition mean (and what does it not)?
Two competing visions of the future - sounds like a good concept for a video game...in Virtual Legality.
