Square Enix donates US $1.2M to disaster relief

Can't believe they can afford to do this after the massive financial loss the company took during last year.

"Selfless Service"

I grew up in NA, but have spent most of my adult life in Japan. The pervading image in the west of business executives and corporations as "evil" and "greedy" doesn't really carry over to Japan much of the time.

- Japanese executives by and large are paid much less than western counterparts. Many say they would be ashamed to take too much because it means others would get less.

- The mindset of many Japanese business owners is that profit is not the #1 reason for operating a business. Profit is important to keep going, but culturally it definitely comes in behind providing for employees and social responsibility.

Hi, Keith.

I like the name of your Linkshell. It's very fitting for you! ^^

Thank you, it means alot to me as this guild was my first successful guild, our goal then was to set things right and protect those who were being "bullied" by other players (pvp oriented game) and keep things fair. Brought together the most powerful people on the server under that cause and we did great.

This I did not know and it just adds to my respect for the Japanese people. Western culture paints them as arogant and selfish yet in reality its far from the truth, total opposite really. I've always been intrigued with Japanese culture, their sense of honor and pride is pretty nice.

I think the picture NA have is because of the old days but i do have to say i never though SE would give that much. It does show you how much sense of honor they have over just making $. I wish SE best of luck and everyone in japan i hope you all make it out of this issue.
