Wasn't a matter of just money, it was a matter of actual availability in 2022. They ordered new servers for Endwalker launch and didn't get them delivered until two years later.

also lol @ comparing this to IRL rent, like really ? Lmao
Yeah, actually. They're allowed to use whatever dirty tricks they can to get you to stay subbed, and housing demolition being set at 45 days for a personal house is a pretty smart one from a corporate stand point. Server resources cost money.

It's better than FFXI 20 years ago, where the resources were so tight that they might actually archive your character after a year. Some people had to put in support tickets to retrieve their old characters.
