Square’s Yoichi Wada calls for an end to Japan’s ‘closed environment’, adds that Square Enix may acquire more western groups

“In the last five to 10 years, the Japanese games industry has become a closed environment, with no new people coming in, no new ideas, almost xenophobic. It is now slightly behind western counterparts,” Wada said.
