I think the company is dying and XVI will make it or break it. Then again none of the numbered titles after XI were anything special so I have no reason to think XVI will be any different.

At least I can enjoy the time I have left in XIV before the servers are shut down and sold for scrap. I won’t be buying XVI though.

Company ethos is dead, but the 2022 financial results which is public to everyone to access shows SE turned a profit that year.

The question is, where is the budget that is felt thinly since the expansion launch.
