They invest primarily in the company though, hoping to reap the profits as a whole, very rarely does an investor put money into a single project, especially when we're talking about large multinational companies like Square-Enix.

    As CONSUMERS of a fee based product we want a return on our payments in the form of a desirable product that we will enjoy and continue to consume...


    Yeah, no matter how you cut it, investor is not the correct term for what we are
    It's a service, not a product. /lawyered.bmp

    Anyway, threads like this make me die a little inside.

    Under business law, 2.0 and the software is a product, your subscription is a service. Sort of like at a restaurant, the food you order is considered a product, brining it to your table is a service. But for clarity's sake, you're right.
