Square-Enix of America president and CEO Mike Fischer has left the Japanese company. After nearly three years with the developer/publisher, Fischer departed for a vice president position at Amazon Japan's Digital Music and Video division.

Following the company's recent revision of its business, president Yoichi Wada stepped down in April.

IGN has reached out to Square-Enix for comment. Fischer told Polygon he departed the company amicably.

Fischer previously worked with Microsoft, SEGA, and Namco.

Shame, I really feel for the guy. I don't think that he's to blame for the company setting completely ridiculous sales targets and then not making them. The new Tomb raider appears to be an awesome game. Will get around to it some day.
