GO SE!! This is why i've always liked Square. I'm sorry i didnt buy FFIV, but i was on the fence for a long time. That is a hell of a lot of money to be donating and taking your servers down to conserve energy(no profits comming in.) My hat off to you and much respect.
Good news ! At last, Square show they can have heart some time.
Bravo Square and God bless Japan
Stop complaining and move your ass.
Of course, it is a Japanese company...
Just hope japanese can use this money well and stop nuclear leak. They collected money from us anyway.
Now that's how you donate to a cause, not by pushing more CS sales and giving only a portion of those proceeds towards something.
Nexon is doing the exact same thing. Exact same amount of money as well. Both companies are awesome. (http://vindictus.nexon.net/News/Content.aspx?boardNo=100&contentNo=00BEf)
this makes me respect those companys even and also makes me want to give their games a chance just because of the kindness of the company.
And NCSoft even give 6.x Mil USD towards Japan. If I could give money I would do it aswell, mainly cause I did it for Indonesia a couple years back.
Brilliant. There's still hope in this world
/bow nice
Awesome.
NCSoft, SE and I know other developers are contributing to help the cause over there.
It's definitely heartening.
