And again...how is that the games fault if that's the case? Why should SE spend money and time they would otherwise spend making new content, for every tom dick and harry and bought the equivalent of a house with no openable windows, who also complain they can't open them?
Weird metaphors aside, very few modern machines are like that, with exception to maybe some macbooks. Any machine that cant run FF14 of all things, for extended periods of time even with proper maintenance, are little more than glorified internet browser machines.
