Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

I used to believe that this game was a product of passion, that the aim was to create a really good game, that was the objective, and profit was just a means of sustaining it.

But, looking at this, and and of the other stuff, I'm not so sure...

dude you just joined. Every mmo/live service game offers item purchases via actually money. Its not that big of a deal.

That's called a game in maintenance mode, and a fairly unpopular one at that - if they only had just enough to sustain it. I have literally no idea why anybody would actually want that for a game.

There is a difference in making money as a company or making money at all cost.

Customers know their sellers. If the company gets too greedy you do not feel welcomed anymore.

Bad example EA. They tried to squeech every penny out of you. It would let me stop buying stuff from Square Enix, if they are getting greedier like them.

Why is it not from a Savage raid or an in-game reward instead?

This is not meant to be a Mogstation evil thread but just trying to see reasons for it being in the Mogstation vs earning it in-game.

Because SE always need your money...

Yet SHB has been noticeably shallow compared to SB content wise. No Deep dungeons, only one ultimate, Eureka has more zones (quality debatable) still zero PvP weapons and less armor from PvP in general how many DNC and GNB weapons are their again? Less dungeons and I’m sure someone can nitpick more

Bojaza,ocean fishing,ishgard restoration and the Panademic. There is your answer to the content issue. Content lost so one pice can be improved and new content added. Anything else became a victim of the panademic

Trust can be a tricky thing with video game companies.

Sometimes you don't know what is going on behind the curtain on why they make these decisions.

Throwing my voice in, not that much will change. While I don't have an issue with the Mog Station in of itself, the presence of Cruise Chaser in the Mog Station does rub me the wrong way. This is a really cool boss with an awesome song, and I think it should have been an in-game unlockable. I'd rather the cash shop team focused on making original content for the Mog Station instead (at least as far as Mounts and whatnot are concerned).

Small indie company, please understand.

Small indie company, please understand.

I understand that this is a joke, but man MMO's are insanely expensive to not just develop new content for, but also to maintain.
I don't blame them for putting what ultimately are cosmetics on the mog station. Good profit from the game means, hopefully, more funds going to
good new content for the game.

I'm fine with cosmetics being purchasable as well, I've bought my fair share of dyes/outfits/mounts/emotes from the store.
Didn't Shadowbringers do really well? I wonder where that good new content went...
