How will this affect Eido’s Montreal offices?

From Gamasutra:

A court has approved Square Enix’s takeover of U.K.-headquartered Tomb Raider house Eidos, according to an announcement today by Eidos’ board of directors.

Square Enix hopes that the acquisition of a major Western game publisher will give the Tokyo, Japan-based firm a greater foothold in Europe and North America.

The takeover is on track to become effective on April 22, when Eidos franchises such as Tomb Raider and Deus Ex will come under the same roof as Square Enix’s revered Final Fantasy series and other properties.
