Jane's Combat Simulations

Is it a "company" tag or are games wrongly listed as having it as publisher? Judging by the fact the tag is categorized as game series, the publisher info would be incorrect but since I'm unfamiliar with the games, I can't do much about it.

Requires either cleaning the publisher info or removing the tag, whichever it is.

"Jane's Combat Simulations was a brand of PC flight and combat simulators released by Electronic Arts (EA). The Jane's Information Group sold the rights to EA so that EA could lend authenticity and accuracy to their growing line of combat games." (Wikipedia)

So Jane's is not a developer or publisher. I guess they just put a Jane's brand on the games to show that the game has to do with modern military, accurately, realistically simulated. Maybe advertised by EA with "data based on Jane's Information Group".

Edit:
Well, maybe there was indeed a development team at EA that had "Jane..." in their name. I found a link to a website www.janes.ea.com/ ... but can't reach it.

Yah, it looks like a development division. I'll update the games to have it as developer and remove the tags.

Edit: Or not... considering EA Sports is a brand too, it should be in the publisher slot.
Edit2: The EA is now a bit superfluous as a publisher, but there's no real harm done with it.
