I use steam since forever and it always works. Never had any problems with it so maybe that's why I don't understand. Also, I think that most of you are in a minority as most of the players that own FFXIV on Steam, own many other games there. I had no idea that some of you may play FFXIV with Steam license when you lost access to it, how in the world are you buying expansions?

OK, I'm not gonna argue with anyone as I'm biased towards Steam. I own most of my games there, use Steam wallet for subbing (best currency exchange), never had any problems.

I 100% agree tho, that we should be able to buy all licenses as we want, be it Steam, Windows Standalone, PS or Mac. More money for SE. Someone at Square Enix is not seeing easy money.
