... volunteer spirit to... make large corporations richer?

Who tf are these people? Elon Musk simps?

Like I think everyone played games for fun? I have backed indy games before, because I liked their ideas and wanted it to become something I could play... for fun. I pay a FFXIV sub to give SE's CEO a bonus chub, I do it to play the game I enjoy.

To me it sounds like they're trying to put people who buy their NFTs on an equal "contributing to the game" pedestal with the people who volunteer their time to organise hunt trains or in-game events or make tutorials.

Those are all just people playing for fun. This statement is obviously purely from a financial point of view, CEO's don't care about hunt trains lmao

What other definition in the current setup can you find for "people who are motivated to contribute and make the game more exciting"?

"People who will buy into the scam because it's the Hot New Thing, with no real regard for the game."

"Making the game more exciting" means giving SE money in this context. Like if a billionaire drops a ton of money on a flash-in-the-pan mobile game then that game might get updates it wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Some rich people like to throw their money into pits for fun, and SE is saying "hey what if we had a pit for them to throw money in?"

I mean you're just looking at it from the PoV of FFXIV. SE is massive, and they aren't talking about a single MMO or just multiplayer games. They're speaking from the point of view of making games as a whole, not just FFXIV. This isn't Yoshida. This is the CEO of a publisher that Yoshida's entire team only works for.
