Criticism of Shadowbringers and the hostility there in

[Vahlnir]

SE milks XIV while giving us back as little as they can afford and it's very much worth criticizing, not trying to rationalize.

They've been doing this for years, but with Shadowbringers I think it was way more obvious. The pandemic didn't help things either, since everyone had to wait a while longer at the beginning for anything new to release. But despite the quality of the story going up (and perhaps the quality of some of the side stories as well), just about everything else suffered. I'd be okay with taking the story back down a notch if it meant getting more of what we did in the past.
