According to Kotaku, Square Enix is facing some sort of internal shakedown following the company"s 2007 financial statement.

"Square Enix"s 2007 financial statement indicates that the company is going through a rough patch. How bad are things? Apparently, there has been an internal shakedown going on. According to several company insiders, things are getting heated. Word has it that a fierce meeting was held over a month ago where Square Enix honcho threatened to start axing employees if they didn"t (and we"re paraphrasing) "stop making games that only they wanted to play." Wada is supposedly worried that the company"s games have become more and more insular, alienating itself from the mainstream."
