I had to unsub because I have a job

Square is a 2 billion dollar company. They have every capability to make their game accessible for folks to play. This isn't an indie dev studio. Very upsetting.

If I can't play the game when I am available to play it, then I have no choice but to un-sub. Maybe once this rush is over, I'll be able to continue playing. Its very sad. People are saying Square is unable to update their servers. I would like to say you're naive if you think that. This company is worth 2 billion dollars.

I'll be back when the smoke clears. Toxic positivity is going to be the downfall of this game. Stop accepting BS guys.

Meanwhile.
With a full-time job and a family, has been able to play every day without issue.
Have a good one.

On the subject of company worth and the semiconductor shortage, I think its important to note that it has actually impacted many industries, Sony is worth a lot more than Square and is also having a ton of trouble getting components, as are many car manufacturers. The chip shortage goes back as far as September of last year.

Not that you should blindly believe company PR, you shouldn't, but its definitely also important to understand the issues in the industry.

Why do people keep bringing the car industry example? Have you paid for a car in advance and had the car not delivered to you because "conductor shortage"? Did you really go "oh well *shrugs* covid and stuff i guess" and carried on without the car you paid for without raising a single complaint?

I don't believe you.

Can't recall paying tens of thousands of dollars for Endwalker though....or the original game, my internet, sub fee, etc.

Crazy, almost like those two things aren't close to being the same.

The chip shortage is a very real problem, and while we'd like to think its a matter of throwing money at a problem to fix it, that's simply not the case.

I think you made the right decision in cancelling your subscription. If the game isn't worthwhile because of the queues, then that is your call to make. FFXIV will be here if/when you want to return, and hopefully by then the problem will be resolved. Hope you find other ways to relax and entertain yourself in the interim.

The Greatest Argument anybody can ever think of.....along with the bold statement of "They can just do it"

But look, if your not a Liar....good. Because that Unsub speaks bigger volumes then sitting here like several dosen other people just crying about they are upset and talk like they know better then the devs & company.
Besides the fact you actually did it and not make an empty threat....Unsubbing will effect Revenue which will make the Problem that much bigger.
I personally believe they are WELL AWARE of the issues and are doing their best. But the Actual threat to revenue might make them push a little harder.

Stay Safe :3

The games cheap . My second family owned a company like this 1 bill to hilfiger
