I know they can run the game perfectly well without the cash shop, they did it before.
Unless SE gets a bigger share (afair Mogstation Income goes to FF14 budget) and unless the ones developing/producing don't get much more money... where do you think that money ends up? Wasn't the server move to europe paid with incomes from the store?

Let's put it like this: Create an body armor for cost of 20.000€ dev cost and sell it 4000 times for 15$ and you end up with enough money to create 2 more body armors you can give out for free.
We have less subscribers now than at the peak of ARR, but more money is invested in SB than in HW. Why do you think they were able to do this?
