Money this game makes

[EnigmaticDodo]

Is a significant amount of it going back into the game itself? I don't like supporting square-enix's other constant live service failures if that isn't the case.

I think the patches speak for themselves: Yes, money is being reinvested. Now if they're worth it to you is another matter, and I recommend evaluating it based on that rather than speculating over SE's exact balance sheets. So!

Do you like FF14's content and updates? Do they feel worth the subscription + DLC costs to you?

If yes, then you can keep on going. If not, then you can always walk away. And it's not a permanent choice either - if you feel sometimes it's worth it and sometimes not, you can resub or unsub for those periods.

I don't find an issue with 14's content, other than maybe wanting more dungeons, but that's besides the point.

Square-Enix keeps wasting millions of dollars trying to essentially get rich quick, but without the required effort, and I wouldn't feel good if the money I spend here isn't mainly supporting FF14. I think it's a valid concern, but maybe that's just me! Perhaps it's an overblown concern too, who knows!?

No company would put all it's single profits back into that single product. The money they make on FFXIV goes to the company as a whole.

More data centers are being added. ARR MSQ is finally getting some much needed attention, while they're still keeping up with their standard schedule of updates. It's safe to say money is going back into the game.

Most of it gets put into different games iirc.

Which end up in failure.
How many negative rated games did they release in the recent years compared to positive rated games?

You're not "supporting" anything;" you're paying for a live service. If you want to influence how SQEnix uses its money, buy some shares.

Raw entitlement and snark is another way to go, I guess.

I don't feel entitled to anything, I was just asking a question. And it's snarky to call objective failures what they are? I'm talking their failed Marvel LS, Babylons fall being dead on arrival, and this Chocobo GP game now too. Sorry if you're in a bad mood!
