I think normal fans don't see how bad SE is as a company. If you played FFXI, you'd understand more. |
I never played FF games, but in Squeenix's hands too many series I love, like Deus Ex end Thief, or I used to love, like Tomb Raider, were, if not unrepairably ruined, surely watered down or dumbed down, or made posh and a little shallow, or a mix of all these things, this is enough for me to consider it quite evil, and yes, that attitude of theirs you effectively describe is surely one of the main reasons why they did it. There are games you can profit on if you properly make them and keep costs under control, but that simply cannot be milked as more mainstream titles, neither overhyped to make them appealing for audiences they don't belong to, trying to do it almost always backfires.
