This is exactly what players complain about today - XIV's inability to react to movements and needs like most Live Service games to date. They almost never update their content, we're basically just now seeing them doing something for decade old rotten ARR.

Their cycle is more like a single player game than an actual MMO in this market. It's pretty sad.
I see you've reverted to Standard Operating Procedure here. Dimiss the fact that someone works in software development as "cringe". Reiterate because "nobody cares". Finalize with "they move on".

Then bring out the absolutely stupidest statement ever made about business "unable to stay limber to market movements, then they die". Without any actual examples for this statement, you have written off entire industries with your overall generalization about 'business' without the slightest clue beyond what you may or may not have heard on the Internet.

Then move on to the non sequitur "XIV's inability to react", as if a game that was founded 10 years ago has to have the latest fad in what you call Live Service games. Follow that with the bold (and false) "They almost never update their content", when you actually meant "they almost never change what's selling for them because I said the game needed it."
