Eidos Montreal founder slams decline of Square Enix's Western studios as a 'train wreck in slow motion'
could have been motivated by a desire to court a buyout by PlayStation.
That deal leaves Square Enix as a slimmer company, and one now almost exclusively focused on its own Japanese development studios. A year before D'Astous left, he recalled a tense period where Square Enix had said it was disappointed in the company's financial performance - and that it had been due to turn a $65m profit despite not having any"deliverables" that year.
"I was losing hope that Square Enix Japan would bring great things to Eidos. I was losing confidence in my headquarters in London. In their annual fiscal reports, Japan always added one or two phrases saying, 'We were disappointed with certain games. They didn't reach expectations.' And they did that strictly for certain games that were done outside of Japan."
