Welp, the Xbox version is dead in the water. What were they thinking?

I mean they aren't wrong, Prior and as of this new CEO taking over XIV has become more predatory. The company has become more predatory lmao. Like we have FF7R, and them holding story behind gatcha games, XIV Putting way more content on the cash shop over just letting us earn it in game. The NFT and Crypto focus the CEO himself has. Not to mention SE losing 2 billion. So while it's not solely FFXIV, SE isn't doing great and charging us more money as a result.

It's still conjecture in regards to 14. To be fair, 14 has always had tons of cash shop items and fomo, etc. At least to me, nothing has changed on that end.

But back on topic, we were told one thing, and we got another one is about the only solid thing we know, and even then, it could be false. Or the noise between now and whenever the official Xbox version might change it to being free. And that we do have evidence of back when Microsoft tried to hike the rate of Xbox Live. The community said absolutely not loud enough, and Microsoft caved and didn't raise the price. They might've later. I honestly don't care about Microsoft outside of Windows on my PC, but still. Now is the time. Speak with your wallet and shout from the rooftops. Otherwise, pay up. And when they get away with PSN, they will follow as they did with the original Xbox Live.
