Why no Xbox?

I wouldn't even be against a private server at this point.

I am glad that SE's position is the opposite. XIV Subs should not be paying for it, period. The game is getting more and more cross-world implementations which helps the entire community. MS needs to accept the conditions required or admit it refuses to change policies for that model. SE should stand their ground as they want to keep their True Cross-platform model they have been running since 2002.

I already knew that.

Your point is moot outside the realm of XIV.

SE should never bend to the will of MS for the sake of its existing model. Hardware + Internet + XIV sub. Nothing more, as that's how the current model is for MAC, PC, PS3, and PS4.

I don't care what "today's console model is for MP" when XIV doesn't require a current console manufacturer's paid subscription to play the game. MS needs to change, not SE.

I never said Square Enix should and as i said some time ago, Microsoft is to blame here imo. I just explained how the business works at the moment and why for example consoles aren't like PC today. Yes, the hardware is technically closer than ever and the consoles owner more open then ever (some more than others), but we are still not there yet in terms of the business side of things. Every plattform holder has still a lot of rules publishers have to agree to or they can port their game to the trashcan, because they wouldn't be allowed to sell it as an console game.
