Also it didn't actually make $1bn in profit from BDO, that's ridiculous. People don't realize just how big Kakao Corp is. They run a popular messenger, have a taxi service and do a lot of other things. They spent a fortune upgrading BDO as well and made a fortune from P2W microtransactions because korea is nuts over that game. It's the most beautiful game that now operates on P2W mechanics and it's very profitable mostly in Korea. It is doing horribly in North America though.

If FF14 became a cash-shop P2W, most players would leave. This game is doing just fine with its subscription model and P2W will only kill it.
