*looks at sub numbers continually dropping*
*looks at SE having "funding issues"*

um, I hate to break this to you buuuuuut............

Looks at Steam chart - active players up 25% in the last month. Looks at SE financial report showing MMO department (which is almost entirely FFXIV) remains among their most profitable. Realizes that even with the decline of subs overall in DT, the game is still well above it's population in the ARR-->SB days when it was viewed as healthy, and that was *without* the added income from the Cash Shop.

Dwell in reality rather than the eye-rolling doomposting that pervades this forum.

In a patch month? No way!

25% isn't that great for a .3 patch either. And also I believe the narrative is that Steam charts do not prove anything. (unless of course it's on an upward trend) But striker gonna be striker
