Former Square Honcho Calls Square Enix A ‘Complete Failure’ With ‘No Vision’


With Square Enix posting losses in its latest earnings, former Square Co. boss Hisashi Suzuki thought this would be good a time as any to kick the company while it is down.

Via Twitter, Suzuki didn’t hold back, claiming that the total value of publicly traded stock is not higher than it was before Square joined with Enix. According to Suzuki, “The merger was a complete failure. There’s no vision for the future.” He ended his tweet by pointing to Square Enix’s recent losses, adding that development costs were heavy.

Suzuki was the president of Square from 2000 to 2002, before the company merged with Enix to form Square Enix. He was a Director at Square Enix from 2003 to 2005, and he is currently a Director at Sega, a former Rakuten senior exec, and a blunt Twitter user.
