Why is Square Enix Failing?

In recent years, Square Enix, the Japanese multinational video game development and publishing company, has faced a series of financial difficulties. Despite its impressive catalog of beloved game franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Square Enix’s stock value has been in decline. Almost $2 billion in market value has been lost in a single year. The company’s recent underperformances, combined with an uncertain gaming industry outlook, have led to speculation about the reasons behind Square Enix’s struggles.

Blame the Game Library?

One key reason is Square Enix’s recent string of low-selling and criticized games. Titles like Marvel’s Avengers, Forspoken, and Balan Wonderworld failed to live up to expectations, receiving lukewarm receptions from critics and fans alike. This disappointing output may be a symptom of inadequate resource allocation, where funds were channeled to fewer games at the expense of overall diversity and quality. Moreover, Square Enix has expanded its development resources and team too hastily, which could result in mismanaged development, impacting overall quality. The once-noble IPs might struggle to find footing amidst fierce market competition, a sentiment reinforced by some insiders calling them “marginalized brands." (emphasis mine)

Tainted with poor Communication?

Misguided strategic choices, an infestation of microtransactions in core titles, abandonment of loyal customers to cater to emerging gaming niches (MOBA’s and PC online, like League of Legends) or abandoning dedicated markets in pursuit of ephemeral profits are significant elements within an unhealthier situation where some investors don’t necessarily know and /or may have poor perceptions or false hopes based upon expectations as Square Enix willfully creates (revisiting an emphasis).
Some developers also spoke publicly of struggles within their ranks. Poor communication with their executives. "Silicon" companies can’t expect developers without “actual talent“ & / “strong social presence“ which usually causes people not doing these companies; & for any others — if, let it me not. But communication.**
