I was "watching" the news on tvjpn, it was something live.

Ugh... That's horrible... I wish the quakes would just stop...

I used to be a financial analyst for a major computing firm. As part of my job, I invoiced one of their customers to the tune of $10M a month. And that was just ONE of their many, many customers. Square Enix is a very large company with multiple revenue streams. A loss of $3M will hurt, but I doubt it will ruin them.

5.9 about 79 miles East/South-east of Tokyo. LOTS of activity right now, according to the USGS shake map.

現在グループ全社でどれだけの節電効果があったかのデータを鋭意集計中です。
その結果により、現状の電力事情を考慮した上で今後どのような対応が可能かを継続して審議しております。
正式な対応策が決まるまでもう少しお時間をください。よろしくお願いします。

Guess from what I attempted to read (and Google translated from a friend), it means that they're "further investigating measures and would like us to show patience. Thank you." Was in the JP part of the forums

Yeah I just actually went and checked it out myself, that's really odd though, his name won't come up if you search for it but other DEVs should up... but I guess Tanaka is a little bit more than a regular DEV member... you just kinda called out one of (well used to be) development heads of the FFXI/XIV team.

Reading over it now, here's a kinda speedy translation (don't quote me on accuracy, I'm just eyeballing it)

Basically sounds like they met today to discuss the situation, and were working to totaling up the power-saving effects of the group. They are going to continue with their analysis and determine what kind of result will be possible considering the current power situation in Japan. Finally he requests a little bit more time before a formal announcement will be made, and thanks us.

Still would be something nice to state to all countries.

I think it's more the issue that the translators on this side of the world are asleep at the moment. I mean I see where you are coming from, but seeing as there wasn't a decision made I don't think anyone had time over here to translate the message.
