This page contains a random list of titles from SCi, Eidos and Square Enix. Many of the games listed were not published by Eidos, but by SCi prior to the merger. Many titles are missing, including titles such as Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and Daikatana. Games published by Eidos, SCi and Square Enix can already be found on those respective pages. Furthermore, a category page "Category:Eidos Interactive games" exists which contains a far better list. In short, the page here is missing large number of titles and includes many that have no place here according to the description of the page MrMarmite (talk) 11:43, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment The article describes itself as "This is a list of games published and/or developed by the Square Enix subsidiary Eidos plc (formerly SCi), including its own fully owned subsidiaries" Eidos PLC was not "formerly SCi". SCi acquired Eidos Interactive and was in turn acquired by Square Enix. Eidos, was formed by the reverse take-over of Eidos PLC by Domark, Simis and Big Red. So what is this list aiming for, the list of all games developed and/or published by Eidos and/or Sci? Before they became one company or only after they became one company? If before, then why would there be a list of game developed/published by two non-related developers? If after the merger, then this would be a list of game developed/published by Eidos after it was acquired by Sci but before SCi, trading as Eidos, was acquired by Square Enix. What is so special about this snapshot of their history? I am not sure what the aim of this page is, or what particular moment in either Eidos's or SCi's history this is trying to capture.
