You're conflating my criticism of SE's lack of important and expensive attention being given to FF14 when they HAD the money, time, and player goodwill to do it with me somehow being unfamiliar with how corporations function in a fundamental sense.

Obviously any person who doesn't have a crater in their head knows that when the golden goose is laying eggs, it doesn't get to enjoy all of the eggs. But if you never feed it or maintain its health? Eggs might not be so golden one day. I was showing that instead of literally putting the minimal (or at least medium) effort into advancing their game's technology and gameplay model, they were instead trying to somehow synthesize another golden goose, or were otherwise negligent with their management of FF14 and their income flow, which has now reached a state that it will likely never recover from. SE will probably begin to languish from this point forward in its entirety, not just FF14. Basically they were spending all of their money on the worst ideas ever conceived, and the only people who couldn't understand this were somehow the ones who were cutting the checks.
