Eidos-Montréal has updated its Terms of Service and Privacy Notice to announce that it now owns the games that it has developed. The announcement follows the acquisition of Square Enix’s Western Studios which also included the studio known for Deus Ex, Thief, Tomb Raider, Marvel’s Avengers, and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, by Embracer Group.

As we’ve left Square Enix Ltd and joined the Embracer Group, we are starting an exciting new chapter in Eidos-Montréal’s history. While it’s not quite as exciting, it also means we have to let you know that we’ve updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Notice!

To put things simply, the big change is that Eidos-Montréal (or its affiliates) is now the owner of the games it developed, like the Deus Ex and Thief games, and the controller of the data obtained from the various gameplay metrics tracked in its titles. If you’d like to know more, please refer to our new Terms of Service and Privacy Notice.

From all of us at Eidos-Montréal, thank you for playing our games and for your continuous support!

It is not known what project the studio plans to take on next but fans of Deus Ex are overwhelmingly responding on its social media pages for another game. Presently there haven’t been announcements for any more Marvel-owned properties but that could be a good thing after the mixed reception from the last two games it has worked on. Meanwhile, it is confirmed that sister studio Crystal Dynamics is going ahead with a new Tomb Raider game.

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
