Are Square Enix mismanaging their westerners franchises?

Greedy slit-eyed cunts happened.

No, the devs of those game are just shit. Notice how all their recent Japanese games have been doing very well sales wise.

Hitman was one of my favorite video game franchises and I was actually hyped for hitman when I saw it at E3 but "episodic release" immediately killed all my hype.

Their western and eastern games suffer from similar issues, overblown budgets that make it hard for them to get back any meaningful profits, bad management of development teams, and a heavy focus on everything wrong with modern games (DLC, We'll patch it later :^), Season passes for everyone!)

SquareEnix is just garbage at being a company.

stupid decisions by the Devs and the eternal Nippon striked again

FF15 is also shit but it sold based on name alone, Enix is mismanaging everything that isn't dragon quest.

Isn't Triad wars mmo canceled?

XV was great and it sold because it was good, the FF brand name was heavily damaged after 13 and 14, the fact that XV did so well and literally is one of the main reasons for SE posting a profit is because it was good.

This is what you get when you try to sell an AAA game in early access and then lock anyone who thinks "well I think I will wait til this thing is actually finished" out of content

Fuck you IO, literally brought this onto yourself

Yeah and it destroyed the future of Sleeping Dogs too iirc.
