Disappointing but not unexpected. Those smaller Japanese games that still try to push for big budgets just don't sell enough, and China has money to burn.
I wouldn't say it's an immediate death knell for the company. They still may be able to make 1 or 2 good games while talent still is there, but eventually they will probably get replaced.
Fucking chinese are locusts that devour everything.
Cycle of renewal. New lifeforms will grow aside. Let the founders retire to yachts and let the Chinese waste their money on companies they'll destroy. S'all good.
The Grasshopper got squashed. F.
