This is just appalling

Calm down, bucko. Last I checked, White Knight wasn't a job in this game. Self-funded or not, they're still impacting a service we're paying for. Considering how often Yoshi uses any and all kinds of data restrictions as an excuse, one would thing we'd pay a little bit of attention to what is and isn't being added to the game and who it's benefiting. It comes down to the fact that sub MMOs are a service and this one is being monetized additionally as a potentially endless series of products, and there are things being added to the cash shop that should be made available in the base game no matter where the funding to produce them comes from.

Those are all great examples of things that bad f2p games do. But that's not the kind of game we're talking about, and it's not the kind of thing I'm getting at, so what you have is a nice collection of arguments against a point I'm not making. No real need for me to engage with them.

Then perhaps you could be clearer by what you mean about the cash shop damaging the game because so far, there's a lot of gasping at straws here about what's being added in the game as content and what isn't and how it somehow correlates strongly with the cash shop.
