This comes after losses of nearly ¥5.5 billion are posted, seeing the Square Enix stock price plunge with a market cap of ¥124 billion. Suzuki-san points to Square’s 2003 cap of ¥150 billion.
”The Merger is a complete failure,” he tweeted. ”There is no vision for the future.” The former boss referenced a news piece on losses and higher development costs.
Hisashi Suzuki served as a director for Square Enix between 2003 and 2005, but now holds directorship at SEGA.

The big test for Square Enix comes next year in March when the rebooted Tomb Raider releases.
