Too true, but I have to kind of admire Yoshida for walking into a storm like that. Really at this point, if they really are suffering from terrible player numbers and a bad reputation for the game then even if they turn things around it might be too late (and if it is guess who's going to get the flak for not turning it around. Of course if he does pull it off he''l be a damn hero to Squenix). These things are costly to make and maintain and if the player count doesn't increase to a respectable level (whatever that may be) within even a few months I'd say they may just be digging themselves into a deeper hole. Still though, I have to give Squenix credit: lesser companies would have dropped the game altogether by now and cut their losses. In fact, many companies have had to do that before, so at least Square is trying to fix it for those who want it.
