Square ShitEnix.
Which publisher was already in such bad shape financially after some not very relevant buyouts and several lawsuits (John Carmack, Behaviour Interactive, Warner Interactive or Facebook with Oculus VR) that ended up costing millions of dollars but not in a good way, to the point where they had to be bought out by Microsoft in order to survive and continue making AAA games?

damn, all that terrible stuff and yet squenix managed to put out an 88 metacritic game and bethesda didn't
and who AGAIN has lost 2B in market value? after the release of the MASSIVE SUCCESS, the BEST FF, with a fricking 16 in the title and GOTY contender ....yes...Square ShitEnix.
an 88 ain't saving this shittie company
.Sony should spend 2B just to acquire Grand Theft Auto VI exclusivity. SE doesn't deserve to be saved. let them rot in their own poop
Peterovo & the like are already on twitter saying playstation is ruining square enix when the reality is square enix likely would've gone bye bye long ago if it wasn't for the playstation 1 & Sony putting up large sums of money to help market their games like final fantasy 7 lol

The loss in market value is not related to the game though? Unless you want to argue that a game released 8 days before end of quarter and that had sold 3M copies by then is the cause of loss in value.
You're trolling way too hard.
i didn't bring the game. the issue is SE as a whole. The FF IP is a victim of that.
Sure, but the drop in stock value has fuck all to do with the game, yet you try to somehow equate both. At least be honest.
i am not.
What you are quoting is a reply to this post:
what the fuq and 88 game has to do with SE shitting the bed in terms of management?
and that post was a reply to this post:
So.....YOU be honest......my dude.
I am not much for acquisition in one way or another but Sony needs to buy Square Enix. That publisher is run by clowns. Out of all the Japanese publishers, Square is the one out here acting dumb in lots of way like never being happy with game sales even when said game is selling good and had turned them a profit. Like Bandai don't act this way and Capcom don't act like this. Hey yo, Jimbo y'all been Square's sugar daddy for so long time to put a ring on it.
they need to figure out their GaaS pipeline first.(focus their attention). if the buy SE they will need to clean house. I dunno if sony wants to do that shit right now.
better buy Capcom, Arc System Works. or keep hunting talent in Korea, China and india.
Square Enix has a list of games that failed miserably recently, like Forspoken and The Avengers, but let’s all point fingers at FFXVI.
All the headlines about this putting the focus on FF16 are completely dishonest. Even gameindustrybiz ran with it but I'm not surprised after all the simping for Microsoft and Starfield.
Massive FFXVI success destroying Starfield in every metric... couldn't offset previous failures...I dunno man. something is fucked up.
I get that FFXVI sales didn't set the world on fire, but it wasn’t a failure, either. Something is going on.
As much as I love FFXVI it really is stuck in the mud in too many ways
Like they really should have gone with a more open world design, because they just aren't good at designing linear games
I don't know what the secret sauce is to linear games, but when done right they don't feel restrictive. TLOU2 or GOW 2018 is a perfect example of this. I never felt constrained in by game limitations, but constantly felt that in FFXVI
I think the key to a linear game is that even your small spaces need to feel like mini sandboxes. Invisible walls should never be a thing.
FFXVI got better as it opened up in level design but it took many hours to get there.

Right now, it's Nintendo games that are keeping Square Enix fed and clothed in Japan, it would be hugely disasterous to break that relationship right as you drop billions on Square Enix.
Even if Sony buys Square, you bet that most of the Nintendo arrangements remain in place.
