Criticism of Shadowbringers and the hostility there in

[strawberrycake]

Exactly, were those dumb commercials with Tom Holland necessary for example? People keep buying into that dumb excuse how they're understaffed when they waste their resources on crap like that.

The Team working on the game, Creative Unit 3, aren't the PR(public relations) team, those are to totally different parts of the company. So while the PR team may be well staffed, Creative unit 3 isn't.

So if anything thats a direct issue with Square Enix and not Creative Unit 3, the dev team, and would only play into the management of things being bad, thus the dev team being understaffed, and the product placement team not being understaffed, showing where the priority of the parent company as a whole lies.

In the end, the Dev team is under staffed.
