See what happens when you install an accountant to be your CEO?

Note: Digital Entertainment refers to their entire video game business. "Amusement", "Publication", and "Merchandizing" are the other divisions.

Overseas = Eidos divisions. Domestic obviously = SE Japan branches

Transform the fixed-price model into variable earnings models = expect greater focus on microtransactions, etc.

By the way, Nosgoth is apparently a game in the friggin' Legacy of Kain universe instead of, you know, an actual Legacy of Kain game.

We *may* get DQVIII mobile. We may get Agito. We probably won't get DQ Monsters. We certainly won't get DQX. Not like they've bothered to release it over here for Wii and Wii U. Plus Docomo is obviously a Japan-only carrier.

Expansion into other parts of Asia = money

There you have it. Square's latest plan to shareholders. Bear in mind, the reality may not turn out like this, but online Deus Ex and Sleeping Dogs follow-ups look as likely as ever. And do hold on to your mobile devices/upgrade them. It could be where the best SE games also end up. Mwahahahaha. =(

SE's latest Powerpoint presentation, NeoGAF
 
most of it doesnt sound all that bad...its not like we're getting a FF16 on a phone device. and these are only focused on old games they can afford to do. but overall, it's still a shame on eidos side.
