Square Enix and Crypto

As long as FF14 is not embracing NFTs, the game is fine.

To continue to support FFXIV while snubbing anything that does go with them is sending a message.

NO NFTS

That's just an excuse for you people's addiction. XIV subs go directly to SE, not even back to XIV itself most of the time. That's what the mogstation is for.
You're not sending any message to SE by continuing to give money to SE.

There are a lot of good games to play, old and new. If people who are anti NFT don't have the spine or decency to actually commit they are just gonna keep being part of the very problem they want to be gone.

You seem to be confused. The proof of work mechanism is a competition to write transactions to the ledger, but has nothing to do with the transactions themselves. If you are talking about raw throughput, things like Segwit and Taproot reduced the blockweight of transactions, plus the lightning network completely demolishes Visa in cost per tx. Further, here is an article for you regarding environmental impact: https://hbr.org/2021/05/how-much-ene...tually-consume .

It has everything to do with transactions, since it's how transactions are verified on the blockchain. It's a ton of energy per transaction verified. Traditional financial transactions are verified with much less energy per transaction, like Visa.

Crypto is a blight on the environment, at a time the world can't afford that damage.

It needs to be shunned, not embraced.

NFTs are a scam, anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is part of that scam. The only reason why Crypto is allowed to gain attention is because the government bodies of the world are preparing to create centralized, fully monitored crypto currencies just like China has done. Cash can't be traced very well but the right crypto can. All crypto but centralized crypto will be illegal one day. NFTs are the worst and should hopefully become illegal. They are only used to launder money. Square Enix shouldn't touch it or even consider it. But I guess "free money" speaks volume.

Mogstation is there to support side projects within FF14
The FF14 subscription should at least (40%) be used for the Teams surrounding FF14

The fact that they are considering NFTs is dangerous. SE is one of the last companies I'm happy to throw my money at. But-- I don't want to support it through NFTs. Disgusting.

Does this mean we will have an FFXIV token in the future?

Creepy $1,000 Doll: I sleep

NFT: Real Shit

Not saying NFTs are good either, but THIS is where we are drawing the line?

Square has been cash grabbing for years.

[Fhaerron]

Crypto is a blight upon the world. It so hurtful for the economy.

[Shibi]

Square has been cash grabbing for years.

It's not the cash grab that worries me. It's the sheer amount of wasted electricity, and the resultant CO2. The main reason I don't support BDO, a game that rewards you leaving your PC on 24 hours a day. Any crypto based game will do the same.

That adds up.

[Rokke]

Crypto can't implode fast enough to satisfy me.

This, really. Doubly disappointing that they're trying to spin it as a community boon too.
