Does anyone else find a lot of the stuff on the mog station extremely expensive?

I dont thinnk they're bleeding money. i just think the revenue the game makes in comparison to the revenue people THINK the game makes are 2 very different numbers

I think you're unqualified to make a statement like that.

I think you're unqualified to make a statement like that.

I am curious to learn the basis for that sort of accusation (and it is an accusation, not a fact).

One certainly hears the words "billion dollar company" in relation to discussions of the amount of money Square Enix takes in because of Final Fantasy XIV. They also speak about the fact that FFXIV is making more money than any other portion of the SE digital entertainment divisions (false, by the way). One can easily determine the net sales for the MMO division, as well as the single-player and online/mobile game divisions, by looking at quarterly reports.

Square Enix is indeed a "billion dollar company", but the entire MMO Division brings in less than 25% of the total net sales of the Digital Entertainment business for the company. (source: https://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/i...22q4slides.pdf)

From postings in the forums, players appear to be of the opinion that FFXIV "makes all the money" for Square Enix. Those people were right exactly one time, nearly 10 years ago.
