Capcom has co-developed sequels to its catalog, such as Bionic Commando and DmC Devil May Cry. SEGA has acquired studios specializing in PC games several times. Bandai Namco has published activities for original projects such as Dead to Rights, Enslaved or more recently Project CARS. While everyone saw a serious crisis of influence for Japanese developers, each giant responded in its own way. This time Japan’s decline, Square Enix’s greatest symbol, is the perfect example of an in-depth analysis of the reasons for this trend, which became apparent in the second half of the 2000s. Square Enix will also react to this, investing in West and even acquiring a local publisher.
