You don't shut something down that is making you any kind of profit, you shut something down if it's making you no profit. Most "Free MMOs" almost always has a cashshop tied to it to recoup costs and make a profit, XIV didn't have anything but box sales to go on, not even a cashshop.

Much like when they charge in January, there would have been people who still paid for it and there would have been people who didn't. Other companies also had the option of running it free if they performed poorly, but that's bleeding money which is why they close it down and sell it off, SE decided to take that hit that most companies choose not to.
Why do you bother replying to it? Zany doesn't know how the real world works obviously.
