ANYONE who disagrees with them is some kind of moron who is rubbing Jamie's face in their money surplus instead of someone who just has a different opinion.
No it's annoying because people lack emphaty. Since we agree that expensive is subjective, then we also acknowledged that to some people the discount price is still expensive right? But instead of going "it's not expensive for me, but I can see your point/sorry to hear it's expensive for you", some people here just straight up go "it's optional reeee!!" "just stop being poor lol".

And op has the point. It is once in a year discount, yet they don't even give us a 50% sale.

Companies making money isn't problematic, but at some point it's just blatantly a cash grab dickmove. And if you know how predatory SE is with their IP but still won't acknowledge it happens in ffxiv to some extent, then that's on you.
