Square Enix' CEO Phil Rogers has posted a new blog in which he addresses a number of gamer concerns, including the suggestion that the company's focus is steadily moving away from "triple A" (big budget) core gaming.
"First and foremost," Rogers stated, "we are a games company and today we devote most of our time and effort into developing new and rich gameplay experiences, worlds and characters.
"At the same time new business models have risen up, which we periodically will try to explore. I know this can be frustrating for some long-time fans of our games, particularly if it seems that we're heading in unfamiliar directions without much in the way of explanation."
He went on to confirm that the company has been exploring these new markets, and that they will continue to do so as part of their process of experimentation and adaptation. In turn - according to Rogers - the company will be better placed to make decisions that will enable them to "offer excellence" to gamers.
"I can categorically say that we're not abandoning core, triple-A console and PC games," he said, before confirming that there's a sequel to the well regarded (if under peforming) recent adventures of a certain Lara Croft.
