[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55770, member: 1"] Despite being involved in a lawsuit over its development, and negative reviews, Square Enix says it recommends Balan Wonderworld "with confidence". The game was brought up in a Q&A session during a company earnings briefing, during which an investor asked about [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/yuji-naka-square-enix-lawsuit-balan-wonderworld']ex-director Yuji Naka's lawsuit[/URL] against the company, seemingly brought after his dismissal from the project. Square Enix confirmed that Naka had had a lawsuit case with the company but wouldn't give any further details about it. However, according to Bloomberg's Takashi Mochizuki, Square Enix also commented on Balan Wonderworld itself, saying, "it is a game that we recommend with confidence." Balan Wonderworld hasn't had the best time in the spotlight. Naka [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/balan-wonderworld-yuji-naka-square-enix-leaves']left Square Enix[/URL] after the game was released last year and has since [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/sonic-co-creator-gone-indie-after-balan-wonderworld']become an independent developer[/URL]. Recently, Naka [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/yuji-naka-square-enix-lawsuit-balan-wonderworld']opened up about his time at Square Enix developing the game[/URL]. He said that he had an internal conflict with co-developer Arzest and felt like Balan Wonderworld was submitted in an unfinished state. Furthermore, Naka called out the company, saying, "I think Square Enix is no good." In IGN's [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/balan-wonderworld-review']Balan Wonderworld review[/URL], we said, "It’s a mess of undercooked concepts and clunky mechanics that slow it to a crawl, and it seems to take inspiration from better games without properly recapturing what actually makes them fun." In that context, Square Enix's recommendation feels a little off-base. In other Square Enix news, the company recently [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/embracer-group-enters-agreement-to-acquire-eidos-crystal-dynamics-square-enix-montreal-and-more-tomb-raider-deus-ex']sold off its western studios to Embracer Group[/URL] in order to fund future projects, such as cloud services, AI, and most notably, blockchain initiatives, the last of which Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda has [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/square-enix-president-yosuke-matsuda-once-again-shares-his-interest-in-blockchain-games']expressed an interest in pursuing[/URL].
