NY Post
The video game maker behind the popular “Final Fantasy” and “Kingdom Hearts” franchises shot down reports that it’s up for sale on Friday after the chatter sent its stock price soaring.
Japanese gaming giant Square Enix tried to quash the rumors following a Bloomberg Japan report that said it had received interest from potential buyers.
