And honestly, you do often come off as pretty hateful of SE. There are plenty of developers out there that deserve a lot of harsh criticism, such as EA, who has been making a habit of nickel and dimming their customers and releasing extremely buggy, half baked piles of dodo feces.Â
And Activision-Blizzard, who have dumbed down their one MMO to the point of laughability, and for the price of 3 expansions, you can bypass all the other content to be near the end goal. In fact as a whole, the gaming industry is heading for a crash on a scale like the 80's. But I feel Square-Enix, will be just fine. Games like WoW are hemorrhaging subscribers. ESO is shifting into a Free to Play as have many other american based MMO's. But FFXIV? We seem to be getting pretty popular, and as the worlds fill up, we end up with these restrictions.
SE isn't perfect. Their handling for example, of the hundreds of black mage bot squads is a good example of a failure. And it is them bots, that is contributing the most to server restrictions. But still, they are not as bad as many American based developers, and it quite frankly, is American based game developers that are dragging the gaming industry towards the inevitable crash.
that's unfortunately neither here nor there. The problems of the gaming industry are many and varied, and really a subject for its own thread as I can see it getting intensely debated. Right off the bat, you sound a little incendiary about the topic yourself. Besides, at the absolute least you're forgetting about Ubisoft.
