If you didn't know, there is a group of investors called 3DIP(3d Investment Partners) who are aggressively buying Square Enix stock in an attempt to perform a hostile takeover of Square Enix. They have been doing this since December 2025.
They claim to be advocates for "investors" and think that Square could be ran better if they remove everyone currently in power.
Unfortunately 3DIP is a hedgefund manager corp and frequently has companies sold over to Private Equity firms which as we know, strip assets out of their acquisition and leave companies in shambles to make short term profit.
When MMORPGs are bought up by Priv Eq groups, they tend to go free to play and become heavily predatory. That's not even to say anything of what would happen to the FF IP as a whole.
Really hoping this doesn't come to pass, but I figured people should be aware of it.
