>Final Fantasy XIV is a re-launch of a failed 2010 MMO. It is indeed a re-launch. But such a successful re-launch that they had to temporarily shut down digital downloads for nearly a month because they didn't expect such a large influx of players. A relaunch that was so successful that they had to revise their earnings report from an estimated 20 million dollar operating loss for the financial year to a 48 million dollar profit[1]. The game has 1.5 million registered accounts[2]. But I guess mentioning that would certainly detract from the supposed doom and gloom of the franchise that author is trying to perpetrate. I'm playing it. It's very fun. Here's a small article on it[0].
