Nevertheless, in the letter, Matsuda overviewed the past year, summarizing Square Enix's accomplishments and the crypto environment in the past two years.
In the letter, Matsuda discussed the reasons behind the crypto decline. The man claimed that new technologies often cause “confusion” but eventually become an integral part of one's life. Therefore, it assured investors that there is no reason to doubt the potential of crypto or blockchain technology.
New technologies and frameworks lead to innovation, but they also create considerable confusion.
On top of that, Matsuda stated that 2022 “was a year of great volatility in the blockchain-related space.” However, Square Enix's president believes that it will only allow the blockchain entertainment industry to grow.
If this proves to have been a step in a process that leads to the creation of rules and a more transparent business environment, it will definitely have been for the good of the growth of blockchain entertainment.
Square Enix President and Representative Director, Yosuke Matsuda, ended his letter by stating:
Our Group intends to achieve further growth by continuing our self-sustaining evolution and transformation as we remain watchful for the changes that will occur in the next decade and beyond. We will drive our businesses forward with the goal of making 2023 a year of major evolution and transformation.
Nevertheless, the Square Enix president revealed that the company is currently working on multiple blockchain games and is set to announce several game launches in 2023.
