Can you imagine losing two billion yen? We can’t even fathom the stress we’d go through if we misplaced a fiver, nevermind the economy of Wales. That’s exactly what’s been going on with Square Enix in Japan with its cloud-based video game company, Shinra Technology.
The company announced that it will be closing down Shinra Technologies after failing to acquire funding via third-party investors. It’s not really much of a loss here in the West, as the company isn’t really a big-player in the video-game streaming market, but it’s still shocking to see Square Enix losing so much cash and closing down a subsidiary in the process.
Perhaps they should have started a GoFundMe campaign…
