Am I ever going to be able to play?

[AnnRam]

Not probably.

This situation will last for a least 1-2 months if not more because SE doesn't have more servers and "they can't get new ones", so its up to the player base, if they keep trying to struggle everyday or give up and play other games.

"they can't get new ones".

Why is this in quotations? It's actually factual, trying to get any computer related items is more difficult/expensive due to all the lockdowns we had/continue to have. I read a report that said Samsung and a few other companies are looking to make more computer parts in Texas as to help avoid the current issues going forward; granted it will be years from now when those facilities are even up and running.

because they believe that SE would rather give away millions worth of subscription fees, still lose at least some amount of subscribers over the situation permanently and skip out on the chance of Christmas sales at a time when everyone and their mother wants to play the game instead of investing into servers now, even though realistically they will still have to do it at a later time anyways cause at some point, even if years down the line, "but covid" obviously won't be acceptable anymore.

instead of investing into servers now

There are no servers now to invest in.

Their actions now are in addition to efforts to invest in the future, not "instead of." Because even if there were servers to invest in right now, they wouldn't be up and running immediately. And right now, immediate solutions are needed.

i said "'they' (the person that said "square can't get new ones" in quotation marks) believe square would rather give away millions worth of free subscription, miss out on christmas sales and lose at least some customers permanently instead of investing now even though they would have to invest later anyways" i don't really see where you get the impression those are my believes unless you read it completly without context.

My mistake.

However, run-on sentences tend to do a poor job of conveying such impressions.

Don't see how. I read the sentence perfectly fine and understood what they were conveying without needing to reread again.

"they can't get new ones"

I love when people think companies can make things appear out of thin air or do any kind of magic because they're a company
