Please don’t shut down FFXI. Please don’t shut down FFXI. Please don’t shut down FFXI. Please don’t shut down FFXI.
I’m sure it’s running on a skeleton screw at this point but surely it’s still making money.
I seem to recall that FFXI makes up a pretty good portion of their MMO earnings, which in turn are a large part of their income.
Besides there’s nothing really pressing them. Both FFXI and FFXIV use antiquated tech by today’s standards and they don’t seem to care to change it.
This says it’s in the European and American offices, I don’t think anyone critical to FFXI running is in those locations.
It’s not about if it’s making money, it’s about how much money it’s making.
