We anticipate that even with this update, third parties will continue

This situation is almost completely temporary. You think Square would just leave money on the table for literally no reason? No, thats absurd, they're a capitalist business. This whole situation just screams of 'we needed a solution NOW, we'll implement this and then change it when we get a better one operational' to me.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Let me tell you about New Coke.

Some decades back, Coke was afraid they would lose market share to Pepsi. Because Pepsi was sweeter and might give a bigger sugar rush.

So they developed a new, sweeter, recipe.
They called it New Coke.
It was a disaster and Coke sales fell through the floor.
Coca Cola Corp responded, a few months later, by bringing back the old recipe under the label 'Classic Coke'.

For a long time afterward, conspiracy theorists claimed it was all part of a secret ploy to make minor changes to the original Coke recipe and have the public accept them.
They claimed there were warehouses full of cans of 'Classic Coke' for a year, ready to go.

These theories were thoroughly debunked (For one, aluminium cans cannot hold Coke for that long without ruining it.) But people kept believing them.
Why?
Because they were under the, false, belief that Capitalist Corporations never make the mistake of leaving money on the table.


Corporations DO make major mistakes.
Square Enix made a few recently, that cost them money.

They badly underestimated the potential sales of Endwalker and had to stop selling the game while trying to upgrade the servers.
They let a major code bug through the QA tests and caused the first Housing Auction to be a disaster.
I can mention a few, minor, story flow errors in Endwalker that have left many streamers emotionally uninvested in *Spoiler Redacted*.

This is, IMHO, another such error. The anger here is a symptom of that mistake.

So in other words:
Stormpeaks: "This negatively affects my experience when using this service."
SassyAssassin: "Well it doesn't affect MINE, so your bad experiences don't matter."

Pretty much says everything we need to know about you.
