So even the new Square CEO couldn't save us. Shame.

It seems more and more likely the exclusivity contract of the trilogy was signed before Remake released in 2020, which is when the old Square CEO would've been the one signing it. 

Nothing really the new Square CEO can do about it unless he's willing to pay Sony a shitload of money for breaking the contract. 

I hope Square got paid well at least, but I suspect they didn't, we've heard tale of Sony getting other exclusives for relatively cheap. With the number of Nintendo and Xbox sales Square is missing out on with Playstation console exclusivity on the FF7R trilogy, Sony would have needed to pay them something like $300m to cover that full loss, and I doubt they even paid them 1/3rd that much based on the figures we've heard from other Sony exclusivity deals.

Not much of a wonder that the new CEO seems to want to end these exclusive releases at Square, I'm sure he has seen how much money Square has missed out on over the years by not releasing multiplatform.
