The smug holier than thou attitude is palpable.
Victim blaming? Smug? Holier than thou? I knew exactly what I was getting into when I purchased FFXIV on Steam and the requirements have always been the same. I'll agree on the account system being a bit of a joke but the moment you purchased on Steam and activated on your SE account, that SE account/game license has always existed under your Steam account and thus requires a link and use of Steam to play the game. You're not a victim of anything here, the system is working as intended.
