Don't panic! Yoshida said everything'll be all right after Wada's resignation

Funny, because Wada ihas a stocky build, but he's most definitely not fat. Shows how much someone knows when he points his angry little finger.

Calling someone a 'fat cat CEO' would be an expression you dolt.

It's a generalizing and negativity-laden expression used to demean when one has no logical elements to do so.

you dolt.

I rest my case.

To be honest, Yes the company as a whole is as much to blame as Wada is. However, Wada is the Captain of the ship. Everything that happens goes through him to give the "Order" to release/make command. The Captain is suppose to be a leader and guide there followers/workers to the path of success!

The game that have failed under his lead was mostly has fault, He could have said about FFXIV 1.0, um.. this needs a lot more work and give a thumbs down! He greenlighted FFXIV 1.0 and it failed ( example).

The leader always takes responsibility for everyone's actions! Wada is a good man and he did bring out some good games. Overall though, It has put SE backs against the wall (despite their deep pockets).

Post-2009 there can be no excuse made for Final Fantasies general lack of innovation. As the CEO it's your job (see Steve Jobs) to make changes, innovate your industry, and focus on the things that have made you the most amount of $$$ (Oh HAI FFXI, and any title before X).

True. I think the topic creator thinks nobody should have to take any accountability, even with so much money and so many people's jobs at stake.

Square Enix should just keep paying Wada millions of dollars a year because he's 'funny on the live videos'.

It's not a CEO's responsibility to judge or "say" if a game needs more work. That is in no way or form part of his job description.

It's the developers' responsibility to make that judgement and the producers' responsibility to relay that judgement to the executive board, the CEO and the CFO.

That's to say: You're completely off target.

Are you a shareholder? Otherwise I see no reason why you'd be worried about who is paid for what.

Wada has taken responsibility for the financial losses. That has nothing to do with accusing him to be personally at fault for FFXIV's failure, which is an extremely ignorant thing to do, for reason that have already been explained and you didn't in any way manage to counter.

If you think so, I'm just putting my two cents in, not looking for an arguement.

I don't think so. I know so, as that's the standard division of roles for executives, producers and developers in basically every major gaming company.

Executives make decisions based on what producers tell them, and producers base them on what developers tell them.

When you're the last link of the chain of a technical decision process and you have no technical expertise on the subject of that decision it's very unlikely that you're personally at fault for a wrong decision, and throwing that kind of personal accusation without firm elements is far fetched and illogical.

I know your attitude towards everything :P "It's my way or the highway" XD /trolling because like I said.. not looking for an argument.

If I tell you that 1+2=3 it's not because of my attitude. It's because it actually equals 3.
