Development Team Downsizing and Justification Makes no Sense

In America, it's very hard to sue HorizonXI due to the fact they all work for free. Like I thought maybe one day SE could just buy HorizonXI and make it official. They are the only experienced GMs I know that exist.

They do make money, do a quick google search for "gil buy horizon ffxi" marvel at the vast amount of it you can buy and the vast amount buying it. It's one server with 10 people working on it, it's not hard to understand they are the ones selling it. Because of course they are, why wouldn't they be? There is massive demand, it's free money since they can make 99999999999999gil from gm commands and they are not a legit company where this would be awful PR. It's just some guys you never heard of, that can shut the discord and website and disappear tomorrow. You don't even know their real names.

When you're running a PS people install you can do whatever you want, you''re not running a legal business in the first place where they worry about breaking business laws or ruining their reputation. They can have key loggers running on your computer when it's running if they want to harvest your steam, wow, bank, ff11 account passwords, to sell or hack you 1-2 years from now or if they get closed down. They can do anything they want. They can have no keyloggers for a few months when people could check for them, then install one with a patch months later and then remove them again a week later.

Are you smart enough to know if they were doing that? no you're not, you're tech illiterate and you're installing who the knows what from who knows who and allowing them to update it anytime they feel like it with whatever they want. You're putting all this trust in not only them being honest, but them being smart enough to not get hacked by someone else and hijack their service to install stuff on your computer.

Where does all this trust come from? you want to know the sad part? you're trusting it because its FFXI, you're overlaying the trust in the game and company onto literal nobodies on the internet who are running a wtf version they smashed together from bits and pieces.

Do they operate a game for a company you could sue? no, if they closed down tomorrow you wouldn't even know how to find them at all.

It's amazing how stupid people are and how trusting they are of literal nobodies asking you to install software that is being updated all the time.

Here is a bit of advice: If people are spending a lot of money every month to run something for free (and btw the more users they have the more expensive it is in hosting fees), they have some way they have plannend to make money they are losing off it. If you don't know how they plan to make money, you should be really worried about it.

Conspiracy theory of gil selling. Conspiracy theory of keylogging players, conspiracy of hijacking and installing things to players PCs. Then says people are stupid for essentially participating and that there must be a plan to profit.

Pix is big mad.
