Square Enix is a moderately sized entertainment company with multiple divisions and annual budgets for each. It does not revolve solely around the Final Fantasy XIV franchise, and funds from every division are put to work where the company decides, not where the division Producers necessarily would like. From a budgetary standpoint, their online and mobile games make 2-3 times as much in revenue in any given year than the entire MMO division. Where would you, as a responsible corporate officer, put the funds for future growth?

I do so despise the flippant word salad that posters decide makes them points. "SE is a small company" earns zero points. It hasn't been an original point in almost a decade.
