    MMOs and Subscriptions

    I have a thought, and where else to post it than the best place on the Internet. The XIV Forums.

    But why do people who play this game stuggle with approaching it like other Subs they pay, you don't listen to everything on Apple Music, or Spotify, You don't watch everything on Crunchy Roll, or Cable, or Netflix, or Hulu. So why do you feel as if all content in the game needs to be available to everyone. Some content can be casual, or non-casual for the people who want that.

    The ones with that mindset are the younger generation that grew up being given everything they wanted even when misbehaving or in failure resulting in an overly entitled mindset where the world has to revolve around them or they have a mental breakdown.

    This is actually a really good point.

    I pay for a Crunchyroll account even though I sometimes won't watch things for weeks at a time. At this point, I think of it a bit as making up for decades of pirating anime. And it's nice to know if there IS something I want to watch, it's available to me.

    The difference is that all the music on Apple Music or Spotify is not produced by Apple and Spotify and a lot of things on Crunchyroll or Netflix are not produced by those companies.

    All the content in this game is produced by Square Enix. It is all a "Square Enix Original".

    And people absolutely attack Netflix for their Originals if they are uninteresting or they are not the target audience. I can say for myself that them not producing the Originals I liked caused me to unsubscribe.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    Boomers tend to simply be out of touch with changes in the world. Also they grew up during a time where it was emphasized to "Always respect your elders". Many have held to this mindset their entire life and are now the elder that needs to always be respected within that mindset. The combination of those 2 things are the general cause of most issues with boomers.
