Then you would need to know what "Bare minimum" is, and also by extension know that Square Enix isn't cutting the budget anyways while siphoning off cash.

The cash shop "Supports" Square Enix, nobody can deny that, but how it effects FFXIV is anyones guess we can't confirm or deny if it's good or bad.

well this is a hypothetical argument based on different views of the situation, so the idea of cutting budget even if a game is doing ok/good isn't impossible but would go against the business model of you put in money to get money.

but how can more money be a bad thing?
