    it had never been pointing about this when steam version was released. ubisoft can provide you an account yoy can play without even installing steam. so thats only se problem, that had put us in this condition. anyway, if they cant even change your region if you move to other place what should we expect.

    Just stop complaining that you're stuck using Steam when you didn't need to go through Steam to play the game in the first place.
    None of these problems or restrictions existed when I bought the game. I had never had issues with Steam previously, and at the time I did not need to have Steam running at all in order to play the game. I didn't know when I bought the game that I'd need to buy all expansions through Steam either, but that was barely even an inconvenience since 9 times out of 10 I don't care about physical collector's editions.

    The problem is there's no way to get away from Steam without starting over, and I already had years of time and money sunk into this account before SE decided they needed to add more layers of security (and inconvenience) to buying the game through Steam. I have what probably adds up to at least $100, probably more, in mog station items on my main character, furniture and event items that are not obtainable even on the mog station, and achievement and other rewards that were limited time and may or may not ever be added again. So no, just starting over is not a viable option for me.

    I'm lucky that these changes are more mildly irritating for me than anything else, but they are definitely still irritating.

    You would only have a leg to stand on here if the two versions weren't marketed as being directly and completely equivalent.
    100%. I don't know why this is so hard for the people telling us to stop whining to understand. If i had been told 8 years ago "This is how your copy is going to need to function to run on steam" I would have never purchased it on Steam.

    I don't feel it's a big ask for SE to let us buy a PC copy when its an entirely different platform. If the Steam and PlayStation copies an co-exist on one account then so should PC and Steam. Period.

    This isn't the kind of thing you start doing 7+ years after you start selling accounts. You could have avoided all these issues if you'd started with account linking back then.

    The forced account linking is unreal. There are so many people in different situations who just ultimately LOVE the game.

    This policy threatens to jeopardize a substantial portion of the playerbase from losing their accounts, some who have been playing since 1.0, and some who have made numerous purchases through Mogstation.

    If people lose their accounts, this is going to have a horrific impact on the wholesome and spotless image that they have been cultivating for years. Really it's just adding unnecessary stress and bad press to the situation for everyone.

    I made my SE service account in America, my Steam account is tied to my current local payment method, which is germany, and thus, EU. I am not banned and you are frankly just being a jerk about this issue people have.

    and that is one of the reasons people use steam. they can freely change their region and play a game. and now... they will face the same problem of SE -> you just cant change region of a SE account

    It's sad. They've been doing that in both this thread and the Linux thread. I fail to see what's so difficult about supporting those in the community that need help.

    Any moment now it will be revealed that WHM is cheating on SCH with MNK after having had DRG's baby and DRG is WHM's cousin who is already married to PLD.

    This has caused me an ungodly amount of anxiety ever since the announcement. Why wouldn't SE even let us change regions of our accounts? If I had known steam would be this much trouble I would've never bought it. Does our wallet need to match our SE service account region now? I really hate this change. I've invested so much time and money into my account, if I'm forced to I just would like to keep my houses...then I'd start over. But I can't even do that.

    I'm willing to rebuy the game again and all the expansions if only I could get away from steam just let me keep my characters please?
