I ... don't think you understand the scale of Hoyoverse game. Their revenue range from high 8digit to low 9digit dollar figure a month.

Even if we generously give FF14 3milion subs at standard price (which I doubt), they are still way behind those games. Realistiacally, FF14 probably only peak at release of an expansion, than slighly peak again when patch come out but on average I seriously doubt it maintains 3mil subs on average at any given times. The economy behind Gacha game is literally insane, and there is a reason you see why a lot of companies want to jump on that model.

But I do agree that FF14 would definitely be at a much better place if SE funnel its profit into better the game itself instead draining it as a source of fund for other fail projects. Whether you can see Hoyoverse does exactly just that.
