And they are already midway into a trilogy(?) of one of their most beloved games where all the damage is already done. They can't reverse course now, because the prior entries already exist and have shown their intents.
So a huge portion of their fans have already been burned and either won't continue or didn't buy it at all. Which means they absolutely need these new "fans" to make the huge money sink pay off, because you can't lure back in your old fans but also require them to play the already pozzed originals you released to get caught up.
That's why franchises are such a risky basket to put your eggs in. Decisions made once will hurt you until its done, especially at the entry point.
Here's the hilarious part: they can, and the answer is staring them right in the face. The same shit they pulled with Tifa's cowgirl outfit? Do it in reverse. Use your ability to push updates to remove social justice and add lewdness back in.
Just takes a patch, Square. But are you willing to do what must be done?
If they can just patch it in, they can also patch it back out. There is a reason why you never trust a "traitor." Because even if they swear loyalty to you now, they have already shown themselves willing to betray in general. Especially if you are so spineless to do it as "social pressure" mounts.
That might be enough for some fans, but it won't get back most of them who already wrote the whole thing off entirely. Which leads to the biggest problem from the start.
Convincing people to pay upwards of 200$ for a single game that is being drug out over the course of multiple just to milk them. So they were already on a losing foot before any woke came in with their fans.
