Tomb Raider, however, was just Square's incompetence. Like, I give Capcom a lot of shit, but Square needs to get their stuff straight. Their not so much mad that their games aren't making money like Call of Duty. Their mad that they are effortlessly making crappy games on mobile phones that are making millions because people in Japan will buy anything with the name 'Final Fantasy' on it, while making legit games is requiring actual effort.
It's not just that though Japanese gamers love mobile games so putting a Final Fantasy or DragonQuest game on mobile or handheld devices is just common sense well at least to the japanese anyway.
Want to know why? Because you're pissing the fans of the games off to try and get people who didn't like the games originally to buy them.
To be fair developers run the risk of pissing off fans even when they do try to cater primarily towards them.
