mmnin said: Back in the Playstation days they were still establishing themselves and where their future style would go. They were building their reputation using the added CD technology and they did so in the safe userbase of Sony's systems. Now that they have established their credibility however, they realize that growing time is over. They are much more concerned about turning a profit and likewise you are going to see them make decisions that resemble business moves such as making spin offs, waiting to see which console to support, promising exclusives then delaying and then canceling the exclusivity, testing the waters of a new system and its userbase, etc. It iisn't about making the next huge perfect project to establish a reputation other than to sustain the one that they have, it is about what they can do with what they have. So Sony/Square fans of old shouldn't expect much in terms of loyalty anymore. SquareEnix doesn't need it. It's a pretty tough time if you are a fan of both. |
Basically what you are saying (and what I have already realized), is that Square Enix wants to be EA or Activision/Blizzard. A gaming giant that churn out mediocre games every year by the bucket load.
Who thinks this sounds like a good idea 0_O?
Greatness Awaits
