And they want new players.

New players mean more money.

Square-Enix is a business. Now, what do businesses exist for?

That's right! Making money.

Seriously, are you naturally this dense or did you practice first?

Did you actually read Zfz post or did you just roll in here to drop some insults to increase your post count? Zfz makes a lot of great points on why these current MMOs loose so many players so quickly. Of course the company wants to make money but wouldn't it be a good idea to retain those players for the long run? MMOs released these days seem to have a massive spike in numbers for the first couple months then crash. Why do you think that is?
