Too bad you are wrong. SE still makes billions of dollars. Do you think this game is hurting them that much? Why are they releasing game after game after game? Because they can support this game with their other profits. Their stockholders/CEOs are telling them "start charging for this game too; I want more money." Obviously if they thought they couldn't take a loss, why would you EVER start an MMO which has the highest loss to win ratio in the gaming industry. Please take your whiteknighting/OMG DON'T MENTION FFXI CAUSE PEOPLE WILL RAGE comments someplace else. I just hope you aren't paying for the game so your posts stop.

Obviously you and the other whiteknights don't even play the game. How long have you been sitting on low rank now? Your last achievement was on 4/16/2011 in FFXIV. Please at least play the game if you are going to be this ridiculous.
