Aside from the Japanese business firms trying to subdue the western video game market, it wouldn't make much sense for Squenix and EA to merge. -But what if they did?! THINK ABOUT IT, MAN!?
"December 12th, 2012...Super video game companies, Square-Enix and Electronic Arts merge to form Ultra-Super-Mega-Power conglomerate, S.E.E.A.
The combined resources of the two companies make S.E.E.A the 4th largest economy in the world, only behind Russia, China, and the U.S.A(The Big 3).
The Big 3, fearing they will soon be at the financial mercy of S.E.E.A, attempt to pull the plug on the merger...-citing violation of international business law, unethical business practices, and attempts at monopolization.
S.E.E.A fights back...Anticipating military aggression from the big 3, S.E.E.A uses puppet corporations to acquire military hardware. It upgrades all military hardware with state of the art computers and A.I.
The big 3 prepare for a tactical nuclear strike on key S.E.E.A computer manufacturing sites. Aware of this, the S.E.E.A launches a preemptive strike on all Big 3 satellites and medium and long range ballistic missile platforms and installations. -simultaneously disrupting all supply lines of raw goods to The Big 3.
The Big 3 are now forced into a conventional war with a superior and virtually inexhaustible military.
The world waits for the new order."
