Lol

they've been going bankrupt for 20 years

>'betrayed' in 1997

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My entire life is dedicated to defending SE, so you just fucked up OP.
Brace yourself for stock price screencaps!

Squaresoft proved to be it's own worst enemy with retarded business decisions that led to spirits within and square Enix relied way too much on Sony to the point where it has become a liability.

>>717744514 (OP)
Many such cases. Namco is another example.

>>717744514 (OP)
The fuck are you talking about?

Their game literally couldn't work on the N64

>>717744514 (OP)
elliott will save them

Nintendo fanboys are mentally ill, it's not like Square didn't give the GBA tons of support and release stuff only on Gamecube.

>>717744514 (OP)
Meds, they still reported a profitable quarter

Anon it's been 30 years maybe it's time to let go

>>717745686
It's not Nintendo fanboys. It's N64 fanboys. They are the tranny speedrunner generation. They never recovered mentally from their console losing to Sony back then.

>>717745686
They gave Gamecube a bunch of junk while PS2 got everything important

>>717744514 (OP)
Nah. Cutting themselves from Nintendo was the best thing they ever did and it worked for them.
It's when they fused with Enix is when it all went downhill.

This

>>717746287
Because Nintendo only makes underpowered shitboxee?

>>717746287
I liked Crystal Chronicles and their GBA selection was great, FFTA and KH Chain of Memories were great. The problem with the Gamecube is the same issue that Sega ran into, Nintendo's special boy mini CDs were too expensive so multi disc games cost too much to be deemed worthwhile. That's how you have Skies of Arcadia with bad audio and Evolution Worlds missing half of one of the games.

The N64 was the same issue, being mad at Square for not hemorrhaging money for Nintendo is retarded. It's equally retarded to be mad at third parties right now when history is repeating itself with the Switch 2 cartridges, at least the third parties are releasing games on Nintendo's platform this time even if they're on the retarded key carts.

>>717745783
Well, pretty much everyone was leaving the N64 because discs were cheaper than cartridges and they were giving their own games and 2nd parties special treatment when developing for it was a nightmare.

>>717746287
They were focusing on fully voiced games with lots of cutscenes, notice how crystal chronicles had little voice acting and 2 cutscenes, the beginning and the end?

The gamecube had a 1.5GB disc limit when the PS2 had a 4.7 gb disc limit, they likely would've gone with the gamecube if it wasn't for mini discs, you can see that they were still making GBA and would later make a ton of DS games showing that htey did want to work with nintendo.

Shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up. You don't know what you're talking about.

What I'm saying to you is that most of you shut in nerds usually haven't lived with the fear of God in your heart.
You've likely never seen blood run down your face, and you've likely never killed a living thing.
You've never been robbed. You've never robbed.
You've never choked someone out.
You've never been suspended from school multiple times for fights.
You're nothing but a gigantic pussy on an Anonymous website, flinging shit about games.
Everyone knows who I am here in only a year. Everyone's obsessed with me because I'm the new schizo alpha of you retards.
I'm a totally wide the fuck open target too. Go ahead and shoot.
Hope that clears it up for you! Alcohol and violence is bad, btw. Don't do it, kids.

>>717746481
Gamecube was actually considerably more powerful than PS2

You guys really aren't taking the Sony going third party news well if you're making these falseflag threads 24/7.

>>717744514 (OP)
You weren't alive when the "betrayal" happened.
If The Spirits Within and FF XIV 1.0 didn't kill them, nothing can.

>>717746302
>It's when they fused with Enix is when it all went downhill.
They merged with Wnix because Squaresoft was a company run by idiots. Square Enix is also a company run by idiots but with more money.

>>717746941
I mean technically it did since squaresoft would not have been able to survive on its own and were very desperate for a merger. Nintendo is basically the only major game developer who hasn't been acquired or merged.

>>717746781
>Well, pretty much everyone was leaving the N64 because discs were cheaper than cartridges and they were giving their own games and 2nd parties special treatment when developing for it was a nightmare.
Yeah, even the Sega Saturn got more support from most developers than the N64 did. Fuck, the PC Engine got more support, everyone wanted to make CD games. At that point, it's clearly cartridges at fault.

>Enix saved Square
I’m actually curious who came up with that story, it’s wild how much it persists despite not being true.

Their mistake is hiring the fucker who invested in crypto and sold on the cheap incredibly valuable licences.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised they were in fact infiltrated by a corporate double agent.

they're too dumb to be victims of that, SE is the master of getting bankrupt. soon we'll get another fluke that will spiral them up the charts again.
