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

[colnix]

Wonder why people cry about it now. When there was steam release I've bought second version of game and addons to play from steam. And here and now "give me a key". Pathetic.
You bought a key for steam - run a game from steam. It's obvious. Don't want to use steam - buy the game from store and launch via standard client.

It may have to do with something about Steam not caring to keep their authentication servers running because of the lazy people they seem to be and when their servers don't work I can't play the game I'm paying for and then have to contact SE every time it happens to refund my time that I missed due to Steam. I just want to exchange the keys on my account for non Steam ones so I don't have to deal with this massive headache they are creating for no reason.

If it were an option to add a PC license to our accounts, I may. However, I am not going to lose my character of 5 years because SE decided to make this change years after the fact.

This. I'm okay with buying the license once more for every expansion if it will be possible to connect to my recent service account. I play for 5.5 years, spent 4100+ hours, have all event items since March 2014, bought tones of items on Mog Station and I'm not interested in starting from the scratch same as anybody else in this thread.

I still hope that they worked well on this system and we worry for nothing, but there is a reason for worrying and being annoyed about the change.
