Yes Sony is going through similar investigations, hence buying Crystal Dynamics at this time could have been a bad move (for both Sony and MS). I'm assuming there wouldn't be as many complications with the FTC if the company in question is Japanese.

PC being a bigger player than it has ever been and the growing base of Japanese-game fans on PC will naturally compel SquareEnix to improve their support and optimization for the platform. SE's biggest game plays best on PC (FFXIV). And if we're counting ports, then PC is already THEE place to play SquareEnix games coz it keeps getting games that usually skip one or two of the 3 consoles. It's pretty much the only place where you can play almost any SquareEnix game. A notable advantage.

You'd think they would have been compelled years ago, even in recent years when Capcom publicly announced that they want to shift gears to PC more often, and SE didn't really pick up on that announcement as a message to improve their own quality.

Personally I feel like Capcom's improved far more than SE when it comes to their port quality and parity, while SE is now wanting to charge even more for late ports, doing exclusivity deals for one store only and focusing on Sony first, PC second, instead of Capcom's approach of PC/consoles being in the same league. We shouldn't be waiting years for a company as rich and as big as SE to do what Capcom is doing, with lesser budgets and power.
