Nah. That shit is printing money. That's what they did with all the rereleases and ports prior to FFXV to help foot the bill for it's extended development cycle.

Tabata resigns from Square-Enix. FFXV DLCs canceled (Episode Ardyn still coming) (READ OP)
- Thread starter DSP
- Start date
We don't know that they wouldn't have fired him.
Realistically, they probably let him announce his resignation to save face and not simply be fired.
Nah, that's easy money.
If the ports get cancelled I would bet on bankruptcy. There's no way
(But the way this was handled was so insane that... IDK)
The problem is that those in hiring positions aren't competent.
No. The first season pass sold extremely well from what I remember, it was why we were getting the second season pass.
They should just beg the Gooch to come back for another game.
It happens.
Some directors walk out on projects that barely started so they can do their own thing. It's easier to leave when things are still in an early phase.
Jeff Sessions "resigned" today too.
Resigning is often a political move. With the way this is being handled, he was forced to resign.
There's zero indication that the cancelations had anything to do with "oh no girls"
It really was a bad investment. That's why nomura and co had to jump from it with KH3, and they seem to be doing pretty well.
What are you talking about?
On the one hand, I didn't like any of Tabata's games and I don't think he had any clue how to tell a story. On the other, this is a big departure, especially since he basically took his old team off and made his own studio.
I'm not going to get into the silly speculation over his resignation because I think that stuff gets pretty spiteful and shitty (which we've already seen in this thread) but I do wonder what'll happen to Luminous Studio and their new IP now. No matter what, they'll have to promote someone to take his place but I wouldn't be surprised if they folded the studio back into Business Division 2 as well. I guess we'll see.
It'll also be interesting to see who's funding his new studio. Bandai Namco would be my first guess.

Holy shit, this isn't a joke? Daaamn!
Honestly, both news are shocking. The cancellation of the last three DLC episodes stings a lot, too. Out of all the new DLC episodes, including Ardyn, I was very curious what they were going to do with episodes Luna and Noctis in particular. A real shame.

As bad as XV is, Xenoblade 2 is an abomination that should never have been made.
Yeah, I think this is related to his new IP. The $33M loss can't be thanks to some DLC.
Sales wise sure can't decide yet but I mean by damged is it's quality, again the sales doesn't mean everyone loves it, there are many many FF fans who were not ok with this game and feel betrayed, it's been going downhill since the release of XIII, if they continue like this next game will get even worse scores, not to mention the absolutely disgusting dlcs practice that they have been doing with this game, I still can't believe many are ok with it.
I like some tabata games but this wasn't a good example of his work, crisis core where he actually shined.
Pretty surprised since XV, even with all its problems, was still a successful product that came out from a project that seemed very troubled for a very long time, and Tabata gets the credit for that.
Would love to see Yoshi P or Yoko Taro take a shot at the main series. Either someone who will make a very faithful game or someone who will take it the weirdest it's ever gone, either extreme is good with me.
