    Square is really hurting for money right now, so I would not be surprised to see more console exclusives being put on Steam and Xbox.

    This is good news, but also kinda bad because Square having less money means they are less likely to invest in IPs that aren’t guaranteed big sellers.

      And the funny part is that because they refuse to fund medium sized projects that could lead to potential new or revitalized franchises, they keep running what they have further into the ground and then leaving things for dead instead of listening to the fandom and fixing issues.

      I don’t think anyone asked for Rebirth to be a “bigger”, “better”, open world game… Intergrade seemed to strike a really good balance for a lot of people.

      Squenix is so busy sticking to risky projects that it thinks are safe bets, while interpreting every underperforming title as sign of fans not being interested. It’s like they think there’s no money to be made unless the entire planet is playing the game.
