FF14 is pretty much the only thing that is positive for Square Enix and all other games they release at best are neutral in terms of profits. Not sure why they would want to replace game director / management when it's successful. If SE management would want to enforce some decisions they just would and at worse some people in FF14 management would quit on their own and it would be public quite quickly.

Europe is supposed to get a new DC this Summer so we shall see if it will actually happen. Like the game isn't in a bad spot just that it seems to have a problem with people playing on launch and then waiting till the next expansion or something major Like I played till early 6.1 and quit until recently in 6.3 and probably will again at some point.
