Here's to the mass exodus off of Steam! Because, even if you don't want this physical CE, they've made a clear precedent. So if you think you might ever want a box for FFXIV you should re-buy it off of Steam and get the Heavensward for it. Better to re-buy just the core game now rather than more down the line.

Well, that's the confirmation from SE then. Goodbye, Steam. No more money from me.

I don't really care for the physical copy...though I'm still looking at the early access thingie because I'm boiling with eagerness.

Though I still don't agree with how steam/volvo is pretty much money grubbing at this point.
