PETITION: Regarding FINAL FANTASY XIV Steam Version (Mar. 8)

[Justadude]

I like your demand. I do not like you placing the blame on steam however. Never ever have i had an issue with the steam client in over 11 years of its existence. In fact the steam client is so freaking good Valve said we dont need to make games anymore. It SOOO good EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Fortnite(Epic Games), apple, google and a bunch of others copied it and made their own.
Nope sorry the entire problem with the steam / ff14 relationship lies entirely and exclusively in the client -> account server -> play server structure Square enix created back in 2010 when FF14 v1.0 launched. Yes the client changed dramatically with ARR, so did the play server. but the account server. NOPE that sucker has had no significant changes and will always behave it does because it makes too much money.
If you believe Valve is at fault and requiring something from Square enix, you are being lied to. Just remember FF14 had to go free to play because they made a game wrong. You can easily see they are still salty about that with the way they take advantage of players monetarily.
