    Sure. At the cost of integrity. You essentially let every paying customer know that your soul has a price and the result is what has happened to other entertainment franchises such as Marvel and Star Wars. Current day NFL. Along with other games in the industry such a Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, The Last of Us P2, etc. It paves the way for shows like Velma, and books like Twilight and 50 shades.

    When companies are willing to cross that line, they express that no amount of money is enough. Greed is a very deadly sin.

One week they seem to dislike the game it's community and the company then the next week defend it then go back to calling out the company for apparently being predatory for making money.
    And? Are you by chance a citizen of any civilized nation? A resident of a state/city/town? Employed or a student? Are you 100% on one side or the other of being either happy or disappointed with the current state of matters? Few people are actually this way. Mood changes are not a sign of a mental disorder that needs medication, but rather an intrinsic aspect to being human, and alive.

    Speaking for myself, I also express both content and contempt when it comes to FFXIV. I look at how we've arrived where we are at, and the direction the game is headed. I recognize that there was a time when substance mattered more than money, and it is fleeting. My disposition is mired in the defense of the former, and absolutely despising the latter. The human heart is not systematic or logical. Joy, happiness, nostalgia, fear, and sadness are all found there. Every single one of them can be aimed at the same subject, and often are.
