It’s a shame that Square-Enix has become so evasive and untrustworthy when it comes to their games. While there’s no denying that the company has been responsible for some of the most beloved and iconic titles in gaming, their recent track record of avoiding the truth and making up bizarre rationale for their decisions has been disheartening.
From their refusal to comment on Xbox to their attempts to explain away the underperformance of titles such as Tomb Raider 2013 and Final Fantasy XV, Square-Enix has been anything but truthful. It’s no wonder that gamers have become increasingly skeptical of the company and are now turning to other publishers for their gaming fix.
The recent statement from Square-Enix that the game Final Fantasy XVI would still have been in development without the memory and SSD of the PlayStation 5 is a prime example of the company’s lack of transparency. It’s impossible to believe that the memory and SSD of the PlayStation 5 would have no impact on the development of the game, yet Square-Enix continues to make such outlandish claims.
It’s no wonder that gamers have become so frustrated with Square-Enix. They have consistently failed to tell the truth about their games and the rationale behind their decisions. While the company has produced some of the most beloved and iconic titles in gaming, their recent track record of avoiding the truth and making up bizarre rationale for their decisions has left gamers feeling betrayed and untrusting.
