I mean... I already knew we're pretty much keeping SE alive... but damn, we really are keeping SE alive. At this point, we're the real investors of this company.

It seems at this point the only thing keeping square enix afloat is ff14 and the only thing able to offset any failure the company releases.

Nah, I'd say one of the other main things keeping them afloat are their lower budget titles that are hitting the mark as well like Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default, Tactics Ogre, etc... Stuff not being pushed like their AAA entries have been hitting the market and getting very well received by fans due to the solid quality of the titles while also often having a slightly smaller price tag.

Those games seem to make decent profits also with smaller budgets and making more then there money back.

lol, dont kid yourself, we are consumers of their product. we have no real skin in the game.

the only people making money off this are the RMT people, "content creators" and the actual investors.

Despite this, FF14 will never get the money and staffing it deserves and its players who keep the game afloat during its 4 month maintenance-mode periods won't even be given a 10% off coupon for the next SE blunder of the year.
