Wouldn't you be the famous expert about honor and shame in Japanese culture, would you? XD

SE loss of brand loyalty has more to do with crappier games than platform choices. Remember not only for SE but for most jrpg devs/publishers their platforms of choice have been (and for quite some time already) both handhelds. Because that's where the japanese play their rpg's.

lol.

But that's what I meant.  SE has put out crap games for a long time, and the recent string of bad games, exclusive no less, to a platformt that doesn't sell good in Japan lowers the amount of people that can just go and buy a game because it has SE on the box, because the put the needs of 1 million over the needs of 3 or 8 million.

 

That's so, so, so lulzy I'm quoting it so you can't edit it out.

The fact you believe publisher decisions should be based on the "greater good" is both ludicrous and removed from reality, or that they do indeed take into consideration the needs of collectives...  gosh.
