Gamespot Newsleter: Start/Select - Square Enix bounces back

[ArnoMorley]

Yeah I'm sure you had 10 to lose

I have no doubt the programmers care, in fact I know THEY do, but management is only a few steps away from doing what EA games does. How are you guys liking the 3$ skin with 13-2?

And they only kept 14 going because it still can be a profit, otherwise it's just throwing their whole investment out the window. It also hurts future sales if you have a failed project like this in your face, people would reference 14 every time somebody had news about 15, but if they manage to salvage it then it won't hurt it as much.

They cannot think "oh this game will make profit in 4, 5, 6, latest of 8 years from now". They think "this is loosing money you have xxx amount of time to fix it or we will pull the plug"

If they dropped FFXIV in Dec 2010 they could have made alot more profit than the millions in losses from FFXIV alone, they are sticking with FFXIV because FF is the flagship franchise for SE, pretty much they let FF fail they will start to loose alot of money, imagine if Nintendo dropped Mario, that would be alot of money and games gone.

And your mention of FFXIII-2 being a $3 reskin is just plain stupid, its a damn sequil to XIII, of course alot will be the same, did you say the last 2 matrix movies sucked because they had the same characters and locations.

Or Super Mario on the Wii, blatent reskin of the origanal NES ones NINTENDO DONT CARE ABOUT MARIO!!!!!!!

A couple of examples why you would be affected if they put an IQ limit on the internet.

And yes I do have 10 IQ points to spare, you however dont.

Lol with his rant which has a lack of intelegence i must have missunderstood that bit, and wtf does that matter about the managment not caring? they want to make as much money as they can from the franchise. Damn I could throw up so many arguments about that one.

in the end its a business

they care about money


why is it so hard for people to understand that businesses are what they are because they want to profit, you dont work for free or for "the goodness of your heart"


granted there are exceptions, but 99.9999999$ of all business is for profit!
