    So are you all saying that steam users are locked out from using the mogstation?

    because that let's you register as many versions as you want. My account still shows windows, ps3, and ps4 on it
    my wife somehow managed to register two windows copies to the same account even

    We're not locked out of the mogstation, we don't have the ability to register a Windows PC key in the mogstation if we have a Steam key in our service account.

    Honestly, why are you being so antagonistic if you clearly know nothing about our situation, especially since you don't have the Steam key at all?

    Edit: If this screenshot doesn't clear up the issue we're upset about to non Steam players, then I don't know what will - https://m.imgur.com/suMRzmw

    Again, we literally cannot register a PC key. We want the ability to, even if it means buying everything again.

    I fortunately don't use the Steam client for FFXIV but I'll sign because this is unfair.

    Agreed for requesting an option to change over. I had no idea about the implications when I got my copy of FFXIV from Steam.

    And to repeat what keeps being written for those who missed it, you can't enter a new non-Steam key to your Mog Station account at this time to buy yourself out of the new restriction. That's one of the options people in this thread are asking for. SE has zero obligation to consider or honor such a request, so they are *not* villains if they decline, but there is no harm in asking.

    I do know as others have said that Steam-restriction has been a nightmare for those facing it with ESO (which I pre-ordered during beta prior to it becoming available on Steam). The level of frustration each time there is an issue with Steam log-in/authentication brings lots of rage and despair to that game's forums.

    If buying new keys would ever work for FFXIV, count me in

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.

    I think for something like this to happen, they would need to negotiate something with Valve. This seems contractual. Which would require something from SE to give to Valve in compensation. Its my understanding that 30% of whatever is purchased by a Steam locked account gives 30% of the price to Valve, the other 70% to SE. As you can imagine, Valve will be unlikely to give that revenue up for free. Nor should they. They offered an advertising and web platform for SE.

    I use steam for everything anyway so it doesn't bother me. An option would be nice for those who don't like steam though.

    Yup, which is why I think it's unlikely to happen but also that it doesn't hurt to ask. I haven't had any issues with my Steam copy before, and with the new requirements I hope that doesn't change but we will see...

    Wasn't this supposed to go live in March? Did it not go live for some reason? I still play through Steam and haven't noticed any difference.

    Steam is pretty awful, that's why when given the choice I always buy the game on its own. For those who didn't know, I think there should be an option to let them convert to PC from Steam.

    I think it's pretty good for purchase. It's much less of a hassle than buying from SE directly. I launch FFXIV via Steam every day and it really makes no difference. The only potential problem would be if logging in and staying logged in requires an external (Steam?) interaction. Steam's version of ESO doesn't work for me, so I use the regular version. But as long as it works, I will continue to play FFXIV via Steam.
