The reason why its hard for consoles to get made is because if they really wanted to, they could get those semi conductors, but it would bump up the cost of the console a decent amount and then people wouldn't buy it because it would be expensive. FF14 has made a considerable amount of money from the wow migration. Is not like there are physically no semi conductors. If you want them, you can get them, but the price for them is super high due to demand. My opinion, it doesn't matter about the price FF14 has to pay. They got enough money to spend, they should get them in at 5x, 10x, or 20 times the cost since they release endwalker and people are unable to play.
God forbid being a paying customer wanting to use the product I purchased.
No... they simply are not available.... It's obvious you aren't part of the IT industry. I've been waiting on a single server for months now. I'm expecting my server to ship out hopefully in the next 3 weeks. What they're waiting on?: No CPUs available. CPUs are just one part of the semi-conductor shortage effects.
