Former Square Enix exec says that's nothing new as major investor calls out the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest creator for high development costs and lackluster sales

A major Square Enix shareholder has created a huge presentation directed at company president Takashi Kiryu outlining its "External Perspective on Your Company's Management Challenges," highlighting the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest owner's issues with its earnings and outgoings. What's more, these are some of the same issues one former Square Enix exec highlighted last year.

The 112-slide presentation was created by 3D Investment Partners – which became a major shareholder of Square Enix this June before reportedly increasing its stake in the company to 14.36% a month later. In it, 3D Investment Partners criticizes Square Enix's three-year medium-term business plan for not presenting a solid future vision, and points out the company's high game development budgets and lackluster profits from sales.
