They invest primarily in the company though, hoping to reap the profits as a whole, very rarely does an investor put money into a single project, especially when we're talking about large multinational companies like Square-Enix.

    As CONSUMERS of a fee based product we want a return on our payments in the form of a desirable product that we will enjoy and continue to consume...


    Yeah, no matter how you cut it, investor is not the correct term for what we are
    That's super. But you know what I meant. For us, our return is a good game and a discount.

    I knew what you meant, but words mean things, and using the wrong words muddies communication and implies things that are patently false, or imply importance where there is none.

    Fine. I'll try to be more apropos in my word choice from now on.
