Expected better from one of the writers of Peep Show
Until Matsuda is forced out, I think Square will continue this negative trajectory. FFVII was a success, so is XIV but there's so many misfires, especially in its publishing arm.

A rare piece of genuine thought and writing on here
There's been a handful of articles over the years about how smaller developers have succeeded and value the service. Not really sure who the others are that you mention but there's still a question mark over the profitability of a bigger external title like Outriders or Back 4 Blood launching on the service.

This article has a tinge of irony considering what they just tried to pull with Resident Evil 2, though they rightly went back on it. Doesn't even mention it, strangely.
