Welp we got our official answer: Optics and they're mad people were wearing Mogstation glamour without paying for it.

I have a hunch their investors are breathing down their neck as to why their revenue is dropping so hard, so they're grasping at straws and Mare became the scapgoat.
Personally, if I was unhappy with the money my product was making, I'd alter my product into being one people want to stay subscribed to and keep playing. Mods definitely cost SE some money sure.
But I bet its pennies compared to the amount of lost money caused by their burnt good will and Post Endwalker - Dawntrail.
I wonder if that means if someone made a similar mod but blocked out people seeing cash shop gear and ultimate raid weapons that in theory they'd have no problem with it. I find it pretty odd that they're blaming it for lack of money coming in, when if anything this will likely hurt subscriptions which will effect them even more down the line.

frankly the reason why the cash shop isn't doing as well is because theirs not been much of good quality from my perspective, the raid weapons doesn't really make much sense to me either. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this thing for friends only? why would anyone care that they can see a friend with a fake ultimate weapon.

Lastly the censorship getting stricter would make sense if this changed anything at all... like no this will not prevent that sort of stuff.
