Forspoken Cost Square Enix $100,000,000 to Make, Claims Lead Writer

Square Enix President Yosuke Matsuda recently revealed that sales of Forspoken were "lackluster," and that's a real shame, because the fantasy RPG from Luminous Productions appears to have been quite expensive to make. According to the LinkedIn page for Allison Rymer, the lead writer of Forspoken, Square Enix spent $100,000,000 on the game, an amount of cash that the company may have trouble recuperating based on the reviews that it's received so far, many of which are lukewarm at best. Forspoken is currently on sale at Steam for 33% off its standard $69.99 MSRP as part of a special promotion that lasts until March 23.

I have a feeling that promotion will last a lot longer than expected.

And you are most responsible for the failure, congratulations. I'd not boast about loosing 100 million for a company on my page.
