The OFFICIAL "I intend on Quitting, and here is why" Thread

That was actually the point. FFXI has nothing to do with any of the other games they make. When they stop development or bring it to a crawl and spend the money I paid for the service on some other game, I don't get what I paid for. Someone else does. In your walmart analogy, this would be like them taking your 100$ in grocery money, and giving you $50 worth of groceries, and then giving the other $50 to a guy over in electronics to build a nifty home theater display.

Its pretty dumb to pay the same amount every month for a service that continuously degrades because the money that should be spent on managing it is being spent on completely unrelated expenses.

I think you are totally missing the point though. People saying "all the money we are paying is going to fund XIV!" are pretty much wrong when all the money we pay for XI goes to everything SE makes as a whole.

I mean, if thats the case, were do they get money to make other games from? Hell, you could say that FFXI's profits paid for XII, XIII and XIII-2 as well. Its not like that just funded its self.

Im paying 12.95 for FFXI, and im still getting that back. It's not like im giving them 12.95 and they are only giving me half a month of service.

I'm just saying, stating it is SPECIFICALLY going to XIV is wrong.
