Ah I get what you mean. Yeah, I agree, but I don't know the logistics of the matter. Though, and this is just a tangential point, that 6.31B isn't really an appropriate measure for what you're asking for. I doubt that even 10% of that value is coming from FFXIV alone when you account for the fact they're also a publisher for a wide variety of things in Japan unrelated to games, including books, TV shows, merchandising, etc. Games are no doubt the bread and butter of their revenue though, but given their FY20 listed their MMOs as just hundreds of millions, it really isn't that much by comparison to other profitable genres. Just like Konami, who also have their name on home appliances like washing machines, these companies get a lot of their money from a wide variety of things.
