I'm outright stating that in the past SE has acted like an Indie company with no money for anything even as a quick look at their financial reports, which are public by the way, shows they're making record profits. I'm also stating it as someone who still very much remembers the hell Yoshi P went through just to beg for the last round of server upgrades even as SE funneled money hand over fist out of FF14 to fund other projects. You should never, ever, let a company like SE treat itself like they're a small start up with barely any money to their name because they will never stop taking advantage of you once you let them get their foot in the door. If they need to wait for funds to be raised internally, fine, but like hell should we ever crowdfund for them.
