So does that mean we should expect everyone to have a PC then? For under a $1000 you can buy a PC that's powerful enough to run FFXIV on low/med settings.
As to the expectation that one should have a smartphone though.. it's a $200 smartphone plus easily a $60 monthly fee for anything worthwhile (and even then, not all providers offer much data) and some can't afford the smartphone plans regularly or don't find a need to have a smart phone (or it's plan) when a simple voice+text plan will do what they need to do in life.
