PAID Crossovers - A new low? (FFXIV x Brave Exvius armors)

[AndyMugu]

EDIT: It’s actually War of the Visions, apparently

Hello all,

I feel like this isn't getting discussed enough, for the first time we're getting a paid crossover (with Brave Exvius) instead of the chance of getting the items for free with our subscription.

Please, I understand that for different event SE decides to add the items later to the Mog station, but we should not allow the slippery slope effect that is for items to be directly added to the Online store.

Please, like if you agree and keep this thread alive.

It's so perfectly on brand to have the gacha crossover be entirely in the cash shop.

If you want, that a company stops doing something then do not give them money. So if you do not want, that there are items in the store from the start then do not buy them. It is that simple. But if many people will buy them then the company did it right.

So, it's like Cloud's bike, where if you weren't at the one Fanfest, you buy it off the shop or go without.

Or like the FFX outfits, where if you weren't at the one Fanfest, you buy it off the shop or go without.

So what's new? That they skipped the Fanfest part this time?

Just because something is "profitable" in the short term doesn't mean it's good for the game in the long term, nor how profitable it will be either.

Sorry but I just strongly disagree.

Agree or not, Profit is a company's singular goal. SE, as well as all other companies, are in the business of making money, period! If it's profitable it's a good business decision albeit maybe not a good game decision.

I said it was a new low, I don’t see your point, do you think that the fact that they’ve done something disagreeable previously means we shouldn’t complain via the forums?

This is the way to make them see some of us see this as a shameless moneygrab, and that the developers should reconsider.

Sorry, but good games make more money in the long run, since the IP becomes famous enough to sell merchandise and more games.

Also the fact that you all seem to think companies are not meant to provide a good service instead of just being profitable is pretty disheartening , especially since this is precisely where we’re meant to voice our complaints & concerne

Shameless cash grabs (or gachas) come and go, good games stay with you.

I guess, you completely missed the point. You can educate a company by voting with your wallet. If they do something, you do not like and you still give them money for it then they will not stop doing that stuff. It is very simple. SQEX is a publicly traded company. They have to push the value of the company as much as they can. And if some items in the online store are successful and the players will buy them then they will do it over and over again. If you do not like this behavior, do not buy the items. If nobody will buy them then they not do it anymore.
