[Dev] PS2 User Poll

Like I said. Just sell the disk online since most game stores don't support the PS2 anymore and leave it at that.

Like it'd be hard to slap it up here..

They can't just sell the disk online, regardless the method to sell the disk they still need to pay Sony and so on to sell it.

If you're a games company you're going to look to see is the cost of making it >= profit margin and the likelihood is it will not.

But they ARE still supporting it, just not in the US.

Yes, in Disk Format in the country that the PS2 is still hugely popular in.. SE are not going "How can we annoy NA again, I know, lets not release it on PS2" they're a company after all, their thoughts would have been "Would the cost be worth it, *looks at previous poll* no, probably not."

But let's be honest, FFXI has been the most profitable MMO even with it's short-comes. It'll not likely that they make the money back in a single monthly subscription: B. Video Game Distributor's License Fee. The license fee for the video game distributor's license required under ECC 4.24.010(B) shall be $300.00 per year.
Plus extra sales that'll come from the those buying the game as it. SE already has Xbox's license til 2016, which means that they need to play $900.00 according to the the firgure there. But legalities aren't my forte.

It's not the most profitable MMO by any means. I'm sure WoW has that title with its millions of players and higher subscription price...

To make a "proper" poll in this forum though, you should have used the first post to say "like this post if you play on ps2" and reserved the second post to say "like this post if you don't play on ps2." As said before, dictating what people can or can't say is just going to make people want to say what you tell them not to, purely to agitate you. When you respond to their antics you're just furthering the problem.

Yes they can. I don't know where you think they could just magically not produce a copy of the game on PS2 and just sell it thru their online store.

They already said they're making a PS2 version of the game in Japan, making a limited run of the same software for EU and NA release thru their online store would save them a lot of costs in the longrun.

Truthfully it still wouldn't be an issue to get this to run on EU and NA PS2 systems. There are simple ways around the issue to easily port the game to different regions since all the english software will be loaded into the JP PS2 version to begin with.

People are still QQing over the game not being on PS2 for NA/EU? A PC that will run the game can be made for less than the expansion itself will likely cost ffs.

This is a lost cause for the people in question. They're still playing Bop-it, waiting for the Spice Girls reunion, and "Kennan and Kel" are still on Nick.
