Square Enix has announced that it has donated 100 million Japanese Yen to organizations providing relief to victims of last week's tragic earthquake and tsunami that devastated the northern coast of Japan. The amount is equivalent to $1.2 million US dollars. Square Enix also indicated that it is accepting donations from employees.
Square Enix Group (the Group) today announced that, following the Tohoku Pacific Earthquakes and Tsunami, the Group will donate 100 million Japanese yen to help relief and recovery efforts in the affected regions. Additionally, the Group will collect charity donations from employees worldwide for the disaster relief fund.
The Group also plans to host several support programs through select Square Enix online services and the amusement facilities that TAITO operates across Japan.
We send our deepest sympathy and condolences to the victims, and we sincerely pray that those injured will have full and speedy recoveries.
And that is why I feel good that I support SE. Outstanding.
Be Safe,

100 Million Yen is still more than you donated, Betelgeuzah. Just sayin'. SE is also a Japanese company. What did you expect them to donate in? Euros?
I was expecting them to do something like this. It only makes sense. It was clear when they shut down the servers they wanted to do everything they could to help, and so this was the next logical step. Good job, Enix! Hopefully Japan makes a quick recovery from this disaster. -

Thats also a lot more than I donated. My wife and I donated a hundred bucks to Red Cross, I know it isnt much, but every little bit counts.
