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

[Ayuhra]

Assuming this isn't delayed again, that is correct. You'll have to start it up via the Steam client.

Hopefully this won't lead to me quitting the game.

I understand that having to log in to Elder Scrolls Online through Steam has caused endless problems for tons of people.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself. I just hope players aren't d/ced the moment Steam has problems since they always do. If Steam authentication is required just to log in and not keep playing then it will mostly be a non issue.

It does absolutely nothing to help me, but introduces more potential problems. It's a purely negative change.

Potential problems. The key word being "potential". I disagree with the changes, don't misunderstand, but I'm not gonna claim that the sky is falling just yet.

Am I claiming the sky is falling? You sure do seem to enjoy finding reasons to argue with innocuous statements I make.

I never said that you did. Nor am I trying to argue with you. No need to get defensive over someone having a different take on the matter.

So, people are still demanding that S-E fix a bad decision by players (buying the game on Steam)? It won't happen. You chose to buy (or accept as a gift) the game on Steam, and when you did so, you agreed to Steam's TOS, which included making changes like this. Accept the consequences of your actions.

People are allowed to oppose something that they believe to be a poor choice, since the game has been running fine for years on Steam. It wasn't a bad decision to buy the game on Steam. The bad decision is adding an extra layer of authentication that could potentially cause more problems than it solves. But it may also change next to nothing, too. We will have to see.

I sure wish I could go back four years and tell myself, who knew nothing about the game short of being invited to play by a few friends, not to purchase said game on a platform where this wouldn't otherwise be an issue. What a shame I'm not clairvoyant like yourself.

Except that people that bought the game on Steam during ARR didn't know they were going to be locked to Steam. Square didn't implement that policy until HW released.

Yes, let's just all accept the consequences of our actions that weren't initially known when the game released on steam.
