Equal is not the same as equitable. What I've proposed is not equal and it's not satire. It would create equitable access based on life circumstances.

I recall in a live letter where Yoshi-P thanked health care workers and was proud of the work they were doing and humbled that FFXIV was a place they could destress. Unfortunately, COVID is still a thing burdening health care workers and I'm sure they can't log in like me either.

So this is the moment where SE wants to decide how to ethically handle this.

Economically though since I play less than my friend who plays 15hrs a day, my sub generates SE more profit. So purely from business sense, I'm the player profile SE should prioritize to keep the sub.
