"Square Enix's Strategic Shift: Streamlining Game Production for Quality Over Quantity"

Square Enix's new CEO, Takashi Kiryu, plans to focus on developing fewer high-quality games to address the company's history of releasing a large number of mid-tier games simultaneously, leading to marketing and quality issues. Kiryu aims to consolidate resources into carefully selected titles, but this strategy raises concerns about potentially sacrificing successful mid-tier games like Nier Automata. While the company's decision to streamline its game lineup is necessary, it must navigate the challenge of maintaining its creative output and identifying opportunities for breakout successes.
