ooh I just have to answer this.
It's happening to THEM! because RPG are FPS games. RPG require a different developement time, procedure and cost than most actions games. Considering the developement time of games like FF13, inlcuding the fact they still put money into the PS2 version. It's no wonder that SE is cutting out crew they can outsource. Keep in mind that these are the companies that decided to merge because they needed to support each other in the RPG developement arena to compete with modern games. It's a pity that merging with another RPG company was the really stupid. Why do people think that Blizzard merge with Activision. Blizzard games make long term profits, but require long term developement. So that the quicker developed games can provide more often bursts of income. This is also the same reason why SE wanted to buyout a company that was known for actions games(snide action game to RPG remakes aside) having more regular sales would have had the company in a better situation. This is why the large DS Remakes.
My opinion. It's a shame. It sucks, but if your company is operating on non adaptable business models or has a poor foundation for operations. Then suffering is a good idea to to learn lessons. It's a pity though that this path in the long run will eventually cost them more when the lack of music talent is in the freelance community and know one thinks to hire them internally because by then most people will consider it normal.
So to sum up. It's happening to them! because they deserve it.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
