At first glance the thumb nail seems rather nsfw

Oh my god, I just learned that Square Enix sold its studios to invest into crypto/NFT crap. What makes it even more stupid is that the NFT market is collapsing right now.

    When people in the FF XIV community wax poetic about how awesome Square is I like to remind them that FF XIV is good despite Square Enix, not because of it...

    If they couldn't manage to make enough money off of Tomb Raider... I mean, I really don't think anything needs to be added to that.

    among all the stupid thing square enix did

    this one still stand out as particularly stupid

    Oh boy, I just realized that Warhorse is under Embracer as well. Give me Czech Deus Ex!

    I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

    I think they made money off of Tomb Raider.

    I think the real problem is that Square Enix sees their core business is the Square and Enix IPs and anything else is a dalliance.  I think they had just as much of an idea of what they wanted to do with Eidos/Crystal Dynamics when they bought them as they currently do with NFTs.

    I know some other games that could benefit from this. Path of Exile comes to mind.

    I use a mod to export my XCOM barracks to Excel, it's good stuff.

    They definitely made money off of Tomb Raider (and Deus Ex, to a lesser extent) but not as much as they wanted, and not as fast as they wanted. IIRC the only title using a 'classic' Eidos IP to actually lose money semi recently was Thief. Of course, SE's solution to the studios not being profitable enough was licensed Marvel games that they somehow contrived to lose- apparently- $200 million on.
