Does no one remember the original 2010 release of FFXIV? Which is now a beloved game?

He was talking about free updates, unless I'm getting ripped off paying 12.99 a month for FF14 on top of the 60+20+40 for ARRB, Heavensward and Stormblood, it's not the same thing in context of tje comment above.They got and are still getting a constant stream of money to repair 1.0 and turn it into ARRB and beyond. They are even profiting. Hello games is not and are taking money they could have ran with and taking a majour chance repair their game and image.

Original FFXIV became a totally free game and ran on deficits for 3 years before ARR started charging money again.

Sorry I misquoted - I meant to originally quote the part about not rewarding devs for repairing broken games.   Whereas we had a prime poster child example back in 2010, this is not a new thing.
