Matsuda stepping down as Sqenix President and CEO

I wanted to like Harvestella more than I did but Stardew Valley spoiled me real hard on farming/harvest moon style games.

Stardew Valley is pretty solid. It just doesn't keep my attention for very long.

The corporate side of Square hasn't been good within the last 20 years. I expect the devil we don't know to be the same or worse.

The corporate side of most companies is very bad because it is an own universe decoupled from the rest of the world. SQEX's obsession with NFTs is a good sign for it. The higher level managers think, that NFTs are the newest and hottest sh*t, even when NFTs are already done because of too much scam.

hey who knows maybe what ever new live service game they release will last 2 years instead of 1.

What I hate about the corporate side of Square-Enix is how biased they are when it comes to punishing mistakes.

Sakaguchi made one blunder, in form of a movie. Sakaguchi is demoted and steps out. The person who pretty much saved the company from disappearing in its early years.
Hiromichi Tanaka was directly responsible to many of Squaresoft's great classics since the NES era and what for more than 10 years was Square Enix's biggest money maker. Gets treated like crap because he was asked to rush an unfinished MMORPG out the door and didn't want to look for the competition for inspiration and leaves the company.

Meanwhile Matsuda has been the president for years despite blunders and mistakes under him. Wada stayed with the company for over a decade despite crazy antics like making everyone move because of superstition.
And people like Yoko Taro get treated like genius despite taking 4 straight commercial flops under the same company before they make a successful game.

Meh. Apparently Kiryu, before he started to work at Squenix, he was the CEO of Dentsu Innovation Initiative, a business group exploring exciting opportunities in, among other things, the metaverse....


The dream was real for a second!

What sins did we commit to say that there is a possibility that we can visit lower Limsa in the 3d metaverse...?

Kinda wished that it was a dude that's not deep into the whole NFT fiasco. Just please, let this go.
