Absolutely true. Playing FFXIV is a choice. And, you should be glad to hear that hundreds of thousands of subscribers are also taking a break from the game to play something else, just as you recommended.

But one slight problem. As a result, queues for everyone else are dead across the board. SE launched a new datacenter that now struggles to fill queues. Players need to log out in order to play most content. Materia fares even worse, because they can’t DC travel. Content for most players is simply impossible, and they cannot finish the game. Your queues will also slow down. Your party finder will die out, if it hasn’t already.

But, as you would agree: there’s nothing stopping us from playing other games, so what’s the big deal? More people will follow. Then the game will die. The end! And, with all the other games for us to play, is that really a bad thing?
