Square Enix's new strategy game - What becomes of Alan when only the hills and rivers remain?

Anoop Gantayat of andriasang writes:
"Hills and Rivers Remain is the name of Square Enix's latest mobile offering. Available as of yesterday on iMode, this real time strategy game has you expand forces over a map, taking over fortification points that can be used to build your armies, and wiping out all enemies.

The game promises extremely simple commands: send out troops, and move your main base. However, as you're forced to deal with special features of the maps and the movements of your enemy troops, and also have access to items that can turn the course of the battle around in an instant, there is apparently plenty of room for a deeply strategic experience."

New Ip's new investments new new new.

Seems like SE is expanding to fast and looking more desperate every day.

Starting to remind me of this video.

Aye, luckily I think we're at a point where the only people really hurt by this will be those at SE.

It's just becoming hard to keep up with what's going on with them. They seem to be headed for a train wreck with all that's going on.

In that video Atari over estimated profits etc and, it bit them in the arse. Will SE make the same mistake no one knows. When Atari made more copies of a game then consoles they too thought they'd be rolling in doe and made good investments. Just like when Square put most of the company into Final Fantasy Spirts Within and it flopped. The company went bankrupt and if not for a bailout there wouldn't be a SE today.

Meh it's just a phone game. SE has these phone app mini game projects they do often. Even Xbox Live and PSN have some Final Fantasy mini game stuff you can do.

I'm thinking the cost to develop this games is very low. Low enough so whoever does buy them ends up giving them a profit enough to afford flops like Infinite Undiscovery. :)

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
