I completely agree with the opinion on the layoffs, I think all layoffs could ultimately be avoided if those in the position to do so were more conscious of what is going on around them and not just having eyes on profit. Although I think the composer layoff was probably going to happen...

I agree with this. However, I don't think a reversal on policies will affect Microsoft as much as people may believe. The casual individual or younger audience may never become aware of the old policies to begin with, and by casual I mean those who don't particularly follow gaming news online...

I don't necessarily disagree with laying off their composers, whilst it is a shame considering Square-Enix have had some great composers, I do believe they should be hiring freelancers anyway, it makes more sense from both a gaming and financial point of view. Unfortunately it tends to be the...

Square-Enix have not took chances in a long, long time, certainly not throughout the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 generation of consoles anyway; throughout that whole generation the company has become stifled. Regardless of their recent announced loses, Square-Enix have a lot of money, and it's...

People are becoming way too worried about the development cost of producing Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV on multiple platforms. True enough it costs more money, but Square-Enix won't be breaking the bank in doing so. There won't be the drastic graphic changes between the jump from...

In my opinion, I think "exclusivity" is somewhat an ideal of the past now. It is obviously great for Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony to have a certain amount of quality exclusives as it creates a competitive market, which is a necessity to all parties but I feel the likes of Call of Duty among...

I do not think it is any particular factor surrounding long term development that is "dishonest" or "unprofitable", but long term development in itself. People tire when a product is announced and they have to wait too long, and regardless of whether little information or a great deal of...

It would be between Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remakes. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is an XIII title too much for me, I've still yet to complete Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Final Fantasy Versus XIII I believe has lost all momentum and hype, there are too many games like...

I'm going to go with that it is finders keepers, and my opinion is going to go in line with the law of property within the United Kingdom. If reasonable steps could be taken to find the original owner, then they should be take. Of course, with money it's highly complex because it's the word of...

I am curious to know where the depreciation and amortization expenses are coming from, having increased nearly 150% in the space of a year and also where the capital expenditure has gone, because a 9.6 billion raise in those alone is a huge expense and yet they expect to decrease that by 5.8...

This is a perfect example as to why Square-Enix are grimacing at consistent financial loss, and it comes down to one simple, and logical marketing strategy. Why would one produce merchandise for anything consumers know little about? It is wholly illogical. You would only produce merchandise if...
