People were doing death threats on public forums, ddosing the servers, and stalking employees IRL since they take public transit. Sega and Namco also cracked down on this stuff like 3 years ago when people were doing the same to Atlus & FromSoft just to get leaks or beat the shit out of random employees for crazy ass video game reasons.

Again, get police involved. If they actually stalk you, you can identify them easily.

None of this requires taking down a blog that posts news for you have for 10+ years, has been nothing but positive for 8+ years and only mildly negative since you fucked your game up in spectacular fashion.

Most boards have 3rd party archives, so that isn't an issue. 4chan is an American company and follows American laws. So long as that continues to be the case, lawsuits and criminal charges will not be the way to influence this site. That's why everyone uses bots and shills instead.

So what is wrong with a blog posting financial information that you published yourself? The guy with the blog has nothing to do with any of that. And the DDOS shit is technically literally solved, do you think fucking WoW isn't constantly attacked? You just don't have to be an inept gook who can't into modern network solutions.

Again, if they have credible threats, they can go against this. As a matter of fact, if you have some schitzo planning to reenact the good ol days of Japanese politics like pic related, killing off an entirely unrelated blog and humiliating the website admin is NOT going to help that.

As someone who just rushed 250 hours of the story in 45 days let me tell you something.
FF14 is NOT A GOOD GAME.

It has interesting moments but it's in the way that there's a chance some of those brown things on the cookies are a chocolate chip instead of the 95% chance it's a rat turd.
Ff14 sucks. Dont play it. Dont get curious. Dont ask if MMOs have something you just didnt understand in your youth.
They dont.
They're dogshit games.
Your instincts are right.

Regarding Our Response to Harassment Against Our Officers and Employees
We sincerely thank you for your continued patronage of Square Enix Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") products and services.
We take the valuable feedback, opinions, and requests we receive from our customers very seriously, recognising them as essential for improving our products and services. We strive daily to utilise this input for enhancing our existing offerings and developing new products and services.

As announced on our company website on 10 January 2025, maintaining a workplace environment where our officers and employees can work safely and securely is an extremely important management issue, particularly in response to certain instances of excessive harassment. Therefore, based on our "Policy for Addressing Customer Harassment", we are taking resolute action against such harassment.

We hereby state that we have requested disclosure of the sender's information concerning the administrator of the website "Netoge Sokuho (formerly FF14 Sokuho)" (URL: https://ff14net.2chblog.jp/). This request was made on the grounds that the website published an article containing content that diminishes the social standing of the staff of 'Final Fantasy XIV'. Subsequently, the corporation providing the service used by the administrator of the aforementioned website voluntarily disclosed the sender's information. Following discussions with the administrator, a settlement was reached whereby the site was closed, an apology statement published, and a settlement payment made. We hereby report this outcome.

What's funny is that recently someone has been using this blog site to shitpost about XIV. They've been saying shit like "this long standing website used to say things about XIV all the time, now there hasn't been a post since February" or whenever it was. Turns out they just got got.

First thing that would have happened is that the guys name would have become public, and he would have 100% been fired from his job. Legal shit is also prohibitively expensive in Japan, as normal citizen you do not have the resources to fight a company waging lawfare on you. Even if the court would have agreed with the guy that his blog did nothing wrong, he would have been ruined for life.

DDOS counts as harassment as it's harassing every single player connecting to the game thus it's a SERIOUS OFFENSE. They had to pay a fine and settle out of court (c&d) or get raped in court over cyber criminal charges in Japan which is way more serious than US or EU.

Learn context before you start going off the handle like jits.

If I'm reading this right, it's literally just the copy paste of actual financial reporting. As in, I don't even see any embelishments or comment from the OP (?), just the comments which are from other ID's.
None of the other posts are even calling the company shit or the like, they're discussing respectfully.
I feel like I'm going insane a bit. The excerpt is taken from another site anyway so why not take that down too?
>>
>>734135335
>Legal shit is also prohibitively expensive in Japan
It's prohibitively expensive in America too. No one can, as a single person, even hope to fight a company. The company will just push the case out forever, using that tactic to drain the layperson of their lawyer's retainer, until they can't even afford to fight the case anymore. The company specifically has someone who investigates the opponent financially to find out if they have enough money to even fight them in the first place.

You can rest easy that, like always, censorship doesn't make anyone stop feeling what they're feeling. The Japanese aren't gonna have less misgivings about Square and behaviour like this usually begets more censorship after more criticism, which just makes things worse.

But it will forever be remembered as the worst expansions because the Story was just an generic feel good anime slop which normally people would not give a fuck about but it had to come after the Series major ark conclusion.

It made mechanics come faster and people have to run around more. In turn everything else in the game has gone to shit. The 15% that raid can hopefully keep the game afloat with their subs.

At least use a real .webm instead of a blurry .gif that was turned into a .webm.

That gacha in particular though has a very rocky history. First, the director scrapped the entire story and inserted his own cuck fanfiction. None of the original story is in the game, you can see the stark contrast between the pre-release previews and the game that happened. The director literally shunned the guy who wrote the story out of the company (he's working on BA now) and had the story rewritten 5 times right before release, and then he did an internal survey where, surprise, he rigged it so that his fanfiction won, and it includes cucking the player via an "Owen" character. They also started listening to literal trannies from the official Discord who were embarrassed to play this game in front of their "partner" because there was a small amount of fanservice. So the character "Nine" had her boobs and armpits censored, but then there was an outrage so her boobs got uncensored but her armpits are still censored for some reason. And this Tiphera character is a pretty good fanservice, but even she was supposed to be lewder and got censored. She has a mental breakdown where there is a small panty peak, but there is also a sticker that the player can earn which is this same mental breakdown image, but it's uncensored and her skirt is lifted up more.

In Japan there is no freedom of speech, SE is doing badly, they recently had that one guy with the 50-some pages presentation try to drag their stock price down so now they think they can just muzzle the internet and people won't have any where to criticize the game from.

Yes, I am aware. I remember one of the people who are obsessed with shitposting about Yoshida kept shitposting about the blog not being updated even though it had been going for like 10 years or something. He said it's because Dawntrail sucks, but apparently it's because they got sued. So that's pretty funny.

No, the site is not an opinion piece, the post is literally a 1/1 repost of an actual newspaper with their quarterly earnings.

There is without a doubt correlation between the cessation of DDoS attacks and the cessation of posts on this blog. Even if you believe the dates don't match up (they do), it has been over a month since the last DDoS attack, and prior to that it was a very common occurrence.

There has not been an update to the Lodestone's Technical Difficulties section since the blog stopped posting, and that does not seem to be just a coincidence.
