I'm not particularly fond of these "Publisher" <Location> names. Especially if they were changed from a previous development studio name prior to acquisition. It takes away the creative identity behind the developer that makes them easier to be known for what they made. The new names on these studios seem to take away their personality their names were known for.
It also seems to lead to an exodus of developers who leave later on to form their own studios with a unique name. Like what happened to Westwood Studios when they became EA Pacific and now they no longer exist.
