Subscription discount for underprivileged players and underserved communities

[TitanMenII]

With current events stripping away means for underprivileged and underserved communities to move upwards in society, I think we as a people need to leave no stone unturned and find solutions to help redress the grave setback of social progress. Every little bit helps right now and as a community we need to reach out to Square Enix and ask if they wish to aid this effort.

I propose that we reduce the subscription fee by $3 per month for players from an underprivileged and underserved background and community. Although $3 may seem like a small gesture, every little bit of gesture helps right now. Square Enix, please do the right thing and allow players from these backgrounds to feel heard in your game.

Such discounts work with tax money. Who will compensate SE for the discount? And - why? I bet there are better ways to spend tax money.

It's called 'Entry' as a subscription type.

You pay 2$ less (12.99) than the usual Standard (14.99) if you go for 30 Day payments.

You cap out on 8 characters in total across all Servers, but shouldn't be an issue for the normal player.

Yes, but it is not the full game.

Why does it need to come from tax money exactly? I don't get your point. They simply need to give a discount to underprivileged players, why is there a compensation involved?
