lol the problem is that they're getting more risk-averse because they're stretched too thin.Thats what I’m saying, square enix puts out a lot of bad selling games and products. People see final fantasy and dragon quest but they don’t see their western division constantly putting out bombs, or them producing huge movies for no reason.
square enix financial management and decision making has been historically bad.
Tencent, Amazon, MS, Random Russian Billionaire, etc ets them drop a few brinks trucks on something like Just Cause 5 with confidence - instead of worrying about the long-term gain/loss which in turn leads to decisions that take away if anything.
shyt, imagine if SE had stopped bullshytting with Hitman for years. If they went all in like they should've, they'd have next gen locked up right now.... their high notes would be much higher if they'd simply have the confidence that comes with bigger pockets.
