I bought game on both PC & PS4, now I buy expansion on both too ?!!

[dark0past]

I bought gas in my first car and now that I bought a new car I have to buy gas for that too?! WTF is that? I thought I'd get free upgrades for life on that!

that's really stupid example

you should say "I bought gas to drive my car on 1st street, do I have to buy gas again to drive on 2nd street ?"

and people keep BSing us because they only play on one device, for me I need to go home every weekend and it's not possible for me to carry my whole PC gaming set up to home every week, so I use the same account my account to play the same game with the same save date on the same server and same everything, not fair to pay again... I'm not new costumer nor I'm making new account!

There are a lot of examples that currently exist for this issue.


You buy an app on Android. To use the same app on iOS, you have to buy the app again.
You buy a DLC for a game on PC. You also have to buy the DLC on PSN.

No, it's not silly to expect to pay for different platforms. Sony, Apple, or whatever company out there deserves to get some money for those that want to buy games or some software that requires their platform. You expect them to just earn money from console sales?

Just slow down a bit and think why console and platform developers require people to buy software specifically for their platform. You think Google is going to be happy if someone bought an app from Apple store and get to use it on Android phones and only Apple received money for it?

Try starting a business and see how you react if your consumers can take advantage of your product while the profits go to your competitors. Maybe then you will understand the rationale.

If SE owned PS4 and Windows and required people to buy the game for both platforms then it's unfair.

And don't use that "you only play on one platform" crap as an excuse.

Although I don't do it for FF14, I have played multiple games and bought DLCs on different platforms and I see no reason to get mad that I have to buy it for different platforms. Sure this game is owned by SE. However, companies don't exist by themselves. They have to pay many other companies to have access to different things.

Boo freaking hoo. Did you not read what I wrote above your post? Nothing in this world is free. Deal with it. You are not entitled to a free or discounted copy of Heavensward. No one is.

I need help with this part here.
Explain to me why I need to pay for sub and HW at the same time.
Say my sub ends at the same time whichcall comes out. Why they not give me a free 30 like they did XIV: ARR?
Makes no sense to me.
Would like an explanation. [Seriously, I don't get why they didn't add another 30.]
No rude comments please.

@ Zaft's below comment: I'm sorry, I never played an MMO with expacs before so sorry for a dumb question but
yes that's what I mean. TBH that's so stupid. :/ The cheapest is $40 for the PC standard download.
Can't toss a good 30 days in it all? So I would have to pay $43 some odd monies for it.
You sure this is an expac or a whole new game? Goodness gracious. o_o

I really have no idea what you're even asking. Are you asking why you have to pay for a subscription and an expansion? Because the subscription is for access to the game itself. The expansion is additional content.

I have seen this pop up quite few times, did WoW players complain this much about having to pay a sub and buy the expansions?

No. Neither did EQ players, FFXI players, or anyone else. I have no idea why FFXIV players do.

GW2 refugees or something?

I never played WoW, and I played GW2 for 1 month off a friend, I never played XI.
It just so happens not everyone plays the same games as you do, odd concept for you?
Not trying to be mean but please.

Wasn't directed at you trying to be mean it was just a reference point as was saying that other people have said this in other threads also.

Oh okay, I apologize then. I didn't know things worked like this but it kinda sucks.
I'll just have to skip McDonalds for like a week lol.

You hurt my feelings. You're a stupid example!!
