Naoki Yoshida says negative comments from trolls are "tiresome"

You know the more times I see stuff like this, the more comfortable I become in saying that its all just an act. Crocodile tears really. He just does it too much, and the moments where his mask slips and he says something against the players of these games feel really jarring when it seems like his go-to response in the face of any advertsity is to cry and plea to any gaming community like this. Its either one way or the other, and doing it both ways makes it feel less than genuine.

I'm also worried about the sales numbers they cited for XVI, Square Enix is notoriously terrible at budgeting to the point where games that have sold in the 5m+ copies threshold have been viewed as flops, hell Deus Ex and Tomb Raider sold more than that and they viewed it as unprofitable enough to sell off those IPs entirely. It would not surprise me if the upper management of Square Enix is uspet about the performance of FFXVI, and Yoshida is under fire for that within the company.

I'm sorry ma'am but I've checked every aisle here but it seems we ran out of rolls of tin foil.
