FF14 and additional fees

[Sigma-Astra]

FF15 is a prime example. Release a title with a fragmented narrative, then release paid DLCs to patch all the holes....

Do we need to keep beating that dead horse around, really...?

Everyone knows that the game was rushed out by orders of the publishers and higher-ups of SE regardless of whether the directors and developers wanted to spend more time on the game. It was obvious from the getgo that the DLC's were parts of the story that should have been in the game and the people who give the orders to the developers were like "Nah, fam, you're going to follow this procedure whether you like it or not".

I don't blame the director, developers, or game designers for making a really nice game and then getting screwed over by the suits up top. In fact, I feel bad because they're taking the fall for what the greed of the collective stockholders and influential CEO members have done while the game designers are getting long working hours with a piss poor salary more than likely.

It wasn't a perfect game by any means, it shows plain as day, but there were still some parts of it that were enjoyable despite it's flaws and shortcomings. It would have been nice if the people working on the game didn't get screwed over because the higher-ups gave orders that they can't refuse...unless, they didn't want to keep their job anymore which wouldn't surprise me either if they were threatened with that.

You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
