Maybe also don't split your moon-shot remake into two fucking games. You didn't milk it - you squandered it. Learn something.
- Three games
  
  Christ, seriously? No wonder.
Might have also realized after Arrowhead got fucked on the Helldivers 2 fiasco that Sony is an unpredictable bear of a corporation that will instantly chew up and leave their "partner" studios hanging out to dry at a seconds notice.
I wonder if Sony's recent mag-dump into their own foot has anything to do with this...
Who could have saw that coming?
- Fuck me for not owning a Playstation... PC version of FF7 Remake was awesome on Steam but had some weird compatibility issues or something. Picking Ultra created fog and made it look like shit.
  
  I told myself i would wait until the game was finished before i got it, so i have been patiently waiting.
- SE might as well join konami and do pachinco machines and just fucking die please.
  By sheer luck and fanbase dedication, is FF successful, because it's not due to their business practices or model.
- Nobody. They were caught completely off-guard by the popularity of PC. It happened overnight. (if a night were a decade)

Sell you game to as many people as possible? What a novel idea!
SE has stopped caring about its customers a long time ago. They never bothered to fix their old broken PC ports either like 13, 13-2, and the old 3, 5, and 6 games. FF16 is still exclusive to PS5, 7R Integrade was exclusive to EGS until June 2022, and they really went all-in on Metaverse/NFTs.
IMO, they died when Sakaguchi left in 2003 and hasn't been the same since. It's always Ship of Thesus with these once legendary companies.
