Wow, Square-Enix really upset people with Final Fantasy 14. Not only is it shaping up to not be a World of Warcraft competitor in the American market, not only is it receiving terrible reviews, but it’s apparently so bad it caused a major shareholder in Square-Enix to quit the game and sell all his shares.
According to FF14Core (via Geek.com), an unidentified Square-Enix stockholder and FF14 player quit the game and sold his shares in the company. This shares amounted to approximately 1% of Square-Enix’s outstanding stock, or about $27 million worth of holdings. That’s a lot of cash. The sale actually caused Square-Enix stock to dip from 1800 yen to 1735 yen, before stabilizing near 1800 again. It doesn’t seem to be having any long-term effect on Square-Enix’s stock prices, but it still has to be a pretty big blow to the company’s pride and pocketbook.
