Breaking News: Yoichi Wada resigns as Square Enix CEO, likely being replaced by CFO
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Isn't Versus his brain child and Lightning is just kind of an obligation?
Toriyama will be very upset.

Sleepy Dogs was okay in the end, not amazing but they were happy in the end.
Hitman didn't do well if I recall correctly.
Tomb Raider should have done well going by initial sales.

Hopefully Square-Enix becomes better..hopefully...
Toriyama should be next.
He's probably just the acting CEO for now. Someone has to take over once Wada steps down. If they're serious about total management reform, they'll probably find someone else in the next few months imo.

Toriyama to be the next CEO.
they have been saying that in all the quarters last year, games like Sleeping Dogs we know are one of them and probably Hitman because they never mentioned its sales. I imagine it must be soon to say for Tomb Raider yet, that's not regarding sales for this quarter but the whole fiscal year I think.
This is what's important. I'm more optimistic for this than EA (EA either very quickly went sour or was sour all along, and seems to actually be in a position where they HAVE to be the way they are, but Squaresoft AND Enix were great for a long time and still weren't half bad even this gen relative to other companies), but without knowing about this guy I'm still weary.

That´s probably the problem. They are pumping shitloads of money in stuff like FF XIV without getting it finished.

Hitman: Absolution and Sleeping dogs weren't really blockbusters but just wondering would Square Enix be in a worse shape without Eidos to rely on?
He should have been first.
Seriously, someone at square needs to get a psychiatrist to help him reign in his obsession with dragging out the dead horse that is Lightning.

Seems appropriate.
Anyway, it's a bit weird to revel in someone's resignation. On the flipside, I'm sure Wada's in no dire straits.

He was in charge of Taito Corporation, considering how Arcades were mentioned as a big reason for SE's losses things aren't looking good ATM.

Good riddance.

And to bring them back from the brink of extinction... a host of new free-to-play games with pay-to-win microtransactions!

Considering they're citing bad console gaming sales as a reason for the revision, plan major restructuring and have seemingly written off/shuttered games in development worth around 6 billion Yen... we'll get more mobile games out of them in the future.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Those are fake Hashimoto and godly Hashimoto.
I've heard that John Riccitiello is available.

Does that mean less FF and more new IPs?

Along with Versus 13 I can see FF14 being a huge money pit considering they aren't making any money on either of them.
