Yeah, that is what my point is. I am not that blind supporter of unnecessary microtransactions inserted in many AAA games, but we can't even deny that every developer of company is running After money. To keep their share price growing, they need to score better profits each passing quarter. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it's all their mode of operation which is very understandable because they get into cost making those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that has make them more hungry of money. Obviously, to survive in the growing market, you also need to grow with time. At this moment, I guess they had reached their zenith. The actions they are taking will only diminish their status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - Once they have a maintained pace with how they drift completely toward being all in for the money, they'd build a great deal of confidence from their fans.

At this moment, if you ask me which developer or publisher I respect the most, definitely EA would not come in that list, but if you ask me which devs/pubs games I play the most, I would say EA. 😆 Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are better than EA with their practices so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one was Automata. Both were good game, though I haven't played any other of their releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Square Enix had nothing to do with Mirrors Edge. It was published by EA and developed by one of EA's in house studios, DICE. There's probably other Square Enix titles that you have played that your not aware of. Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, Just Cause, Life is Strange, Deus Ex...?

He's fascinated with the puzzles in Tomb Raider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for correcting me. 😆 Wait, Tomb Raider is also from square Enix? I thought it was all Ubisoft's work and credit. 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everything from Guardian of Light onwards has be published by Square Enix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see. I am really confused with those publisher contents and their takeovers. I am thankful to you guys for clearing things out, I knew it was from Eidos but never knew that it was taken over by Square Enix.
