When is Square coming after 4chan for posting the abysmal financial data related to FFXIV?
>>734157989>harass company>they reactwow
Hey square enixFinal Fantasy 14 is fucking dogshitsue meyou can make the courtcase out toP. Sherman42 Wallaby Way Sydney(and yes, because the mods will likely blindly go for the dox/personal info ban, a friendly reminder that you faggots need to watch finding nemo at least once in your miserable lives)
they never can, it's the most useful website the US and Israeli governments have ever set up
What exactly did the original article say?
>>734157989why else do you think we have the mandated 24/7 ffxiv general on /v/?
>>734157989Sounds like they went after the staff directly, not the fact that the game is slipping. Also it sounds like it was a JP blog. I assume they ran afoul of some kind of JP libel law
>>734157989Go look up japanese defamation lawsand now realize that it wont work for websites not hosted in japan
>>734158154>harass company>by posting publicly available informationThere is no boot large enough for your tongue
>>734157989>criticize the social standing of the staffI have no idea what this means
>>734160046they got doxxed and mocked
>>734159909>>734160102
>>734159909retard
>>734160102Okay, if this guy doxxed staff, then that's wrong.
>>734160258yes people like OP are retarded
>>734160298/thread
>>734160102proofs?
>>734158978You can get sued for defamation in Japan for hurting someone's reputation with your words, even if what you post is objectively and verfiably true. You only get a pass if what you post is both true and "serves a societal good".
>>734157989well maybe they shouldn't have made a dogshit expansion about a tranny lion after the kino that was endwalker on release fuck the patch content
>>734157989>the abysmal financial data related to FFXIVdid i miss something? because last I checked having 930,000 active characters means it's doing great
>>734159909they're not coming after people for posting public info or online whining
>>734158828basically the site that is shutting down got really "toxic" after Dawntrail. It was on par with how we shit talk here about things. Japan is not like America, they do not have the level of free speech we do. They have all kinds of anti bullying laws and such. Its mostly face saving horseshit to maintain the look of everything being perfectly fine and everyone being pleasant to each other. Apparently some of the specific SE developers got talked shit not in the actual article, but in the comments. So SE suggested they SHUT IT DOWN before they actually initiated any legal action against them. Straight up strongarm tactics to shut down dissent
>>734158154>Harass company>By criticizing the game you pay for that they provideEr what?
>>734158154>hire troon>game dieswow
>>734160258They didnt, theyre getting sued for posting abysmal financial data and talking trash of SE's actions so far to get to that point.
>>734158154I don't know anything about Japanese law on these things, but they definitely don't have the same freedom of speech laws that the US does. I guess it depends on what people can be held accountable for there.
>>734160940>Japan is not like America, they do not have the level of free speech we do. They have all kinds of anti bullying laws and suchso what happens in 2ch?
5chan is a funny place.
>>734160829If it's doing so great then where is the expansion?
>>734161176Sarcastic lads are best lads.
>>734158259I don't know about that. When USAID got defended last year, all the BBC and tranny posting on /gif/ stopped. I don't touch /pol/, but I can only imagine it was about the same. >search 'games' image folder for the word 'black'>bg90_blackboardout.pngWhat the fuck even is this?
>>734161176>breaking the corpo dicksucking conditioninggood for them
>>734160261>>734160238>>734160102There is not a single mention of them getting doxxed anywhere. No article, no postsSome dude talked shit, you actual bootlickers. For SQUARE ENIX of all companies fucking hell
>>734161483calm down lolnobody cares
>>734161176Best way to combat Square Enix/ FF14s gay censorship and attempt at controlling their thoughts.They only want positive comments so being 'extra' positive, go over the top where it's so fucking ridiculous, go full satire."Oh yes FF14 is in fact the best MMO in the world and YoshiP is the greatest man to ever live on this great green Earth he's amazing, so talented, just the creative genius of this man, of Square Enix it's like standing in the presence of divinity when you're close to Square Enix and it's employees they radiant a special energy you just know that you're close to God's Angels'.
Why do people keep posting about this and making stuff up? The forum was doxing and targeting individual employees. It has nothing to do with their games.
>>734161719Post proof, if you keep saying this with no proof I'll just ignore you and tell my chat bot to tell other people to ignore you. Prove it.
>>734157989In Japan it is illegal to say untruthful things about people (unless the media does it). For example, if I say Yoshi-P is a mentally retarded bald manlet I will be tossed in prison if he can prove he isn't bald. Please understand Square-Enix has done nothing wrong here.
>>734161719If I repeat a lie enough, people will believe me.
>>734161719>i-it was doxxing people>all the threads that were talking about financial data were the ones nuked before the legal threat took it downPost the articles boyo :)
>>734158154I've called Square a worthless fucking company for years and they can't do shit to me.Because I'm an American. I have rights.
>>734158154>harassment is pointing out losing half your revenue and playerbaseMan XIVfags really are tribalistic retards
fucking based
>>734157989You think we can get them to go after Barry?
>>734162006>dont bully the companyMan Japs really are cucked lmao
>>734162006The psycho defender knights in Japan make NA knights look like peasants.
why is /v/ obsessed with this company?
>>734161959>bringing up FFXIV out of nowhereweird obsession
>>734162006So now that the 'negative' people have been shut down, the game is going to improve now right? R-right?
>>734161719You lieing fucking cunt
>>734162279>>734162306something something blizzcucks
>>734162332>lieing
>>734162279In the past they used to make good games. In modernity they provide online playgrounds for the mentally ill
>>734162306>jp ff14 blog site in the OP >out of nowhere
>>734162279Watching a company burn all it's goodwill to the ground, that used to be top of the entire industry, that alone could sell consoles where it's so irrelevent that all it can make now are shitty mobile games that they close after a year.The only good thing SE have made in recent years was FF14, it built back up the reputation of the company, of millions of people towards the FF series again for the first time in years, and made SE shit load of money.But then SE did SE things and managed to even fuck that up.So it's the car crash theory, you know it's not good to watch something on fire, but you can't tear your eyes away from it.
>>734157989Its hilarious trying to watch XIVtrannies try and rewrite this into "ackshually it wasnt the financial data that they dont want to be made public its totally them doxxing that I have no proof of happening"
>>734162279It's an intersection of various obsessed groupsThere's the Chinese/Korean nationalists who hate SE because they're Japanese, they're the simplest to understand.There's MMO players who hate FFXIV and thus obsess over SE by proxy, this only began relatively recently when WoW experienced an exodus.Then there's console users who hate SE for exclusivity, and obsess over its sales as a proxy for console wars. This is also tied to the famitsu console war general, the sony side clings to various SE games as flagships for playstation and cheerleads for their success. This spins out into various proxy wars over final fantasy, etc.Then there's political warriors and the peanut gallery who are just here to laugh at stuff like Forespoken.Meanwhile all groups borrow material from the others to try and push their agendas.It's really a fellowship of faggots from all walks of life, united by SE being somehow even worse than all of them combined.
>>734162447pretty much. this board is and has been oddly obsessed with FFXIV for decades.
>>734162947
got any good hangout spots? i like yanxia a lot
>>734162947good post
>all these posts defending these actions suddenly popping up during NA hours while late NA/Peak EU hours were people shitting on SE for going out of their way to legally take down a site posting their Financial Data from publicly available resourceslmao
>>734163609go outside schizo
>>734158154yes, you harass a company when they sell a product and its bad.Customer is always right faggot.
>>734163963Not in Japan, faggot.
>>734163963Or you stop buying from them and move on. Money talks more than anything. All this online crying only proves they’re still emotionally attached to this company, even if they don’t want to be.
Man why are XIVfags so adamant to stop anything negative regarding the game or SE?
>>734164141>NOOOOO YOU WILL NOT BRING UP SCUMMY CORPORATE ACTIONS TRYING TO HIDE THEIR FINANCIAL DATA FROM HITTING THE PUBLIC EYEL M A O
>>734162006>normal people are the ones playing ffxiv LMAAAOAOOOOOOOOOO
>>734164947>>734165017take your meds
>>734165114Hilarious. Please explain the moral standing SE has to threaten legal action against a site talking about its horrible financial data.
Japanese slander laws are fucked. It's basically illegal to damage someone's reputation even if the information you're sharing is true.
>>734165349Morals are irrelevant for corporations. They exist to make line go up at the expense of literally everything else. Blame the kikes.
im a ff14fag, love the game. but i would love to see squareenix walk the plank and get laught at selling its ip or something like that.
>>734165349I don't give a fuck about corporations, and neither should you.
>>734165847this. i just come here to laugh at th schizos obsessed with the mmo.
Big news for the schizophrenic.
>XIVfags are celebrating corporations shutting down dissenting speechlmao how cucked do you have to be to get to that point
>>734166082nigga you're the only one constantly bringing XIV up
>>734166231just let him sperg out to desperately bump his shitty thread
>>734166082
>>734159909Retard
>>734162947truth
Even Cygames has slurpers in Japan despite Cygames being run by complete scummy fucks who openly hate on their paypiggy players. Never underestimate just how reddit some of those game dev's otaku fanboys can get.
>>734158204>DEI slop glorifying the invalids.
>>734162947You're forgetting the boomers who remember when they made/[ublished some of the greatest games of all time before turning to garbage, and want them to either go back (lol) or burn down. It wasn't just FF, but tons and tons of different RPGs.
>>734159909the rope is ready for (You)
>>734160829>last I checked having 930,000 active characters means it's doing greatnigga the corpo slop line is going DOWN two products in a row, it's a land slide in dawntrail
>the game I am obsessed with is dying againhttps://youtu.be/Unzsc7O6Q-A?si=pybugllKqDYxpILg
>>734160829Didn't they have multiple millions up last year? That's half the population gone.
>>734167632lmao I love that vid
>>734157989FFXIV tanked because Dawntrail just sucked. Not even the Dub VA. Wuk Lamat was just hated overall.
>people finish main MSQ and move on>retards claim game is dead for realseveryfuckingexpac
>>734167871this but DT did sick so much people are saying the game ended with EW
>>734167914>did sick so much
>>734167871Remember when the last real player count leaked thru plugins and showed only about 300k players remained and the official quarterly report showed the game lost 50% of its revenue
>>734167871>playercount much lower than the last expansion>the newest expansion wont be in another year (3 year expansion gap)the game is EOS soon and yoshit PISS cant save this shitstorm
So it's like 1 dude on multiple devices trying to play defense in this thread right?
>>734162947I hate Square for becoming useless fucks, making shitty decisions to make games and hiring shitty people to make said shitGo fuck yourself for defending them and pretending they're worth defending
>>734167871Nigger we have the numbers to prove it's in the worst state that it's been for fucking years AND still declining. Who are you kidding? Yourself?
>>734160829>having 930,000 active characters>929,000 free trial accounts
I'm surprised none of the drama channels or X account have noted this drama. Probably a good thing they're just typing it in moonrunes.
>>734167986log in on free trial, novice network is dead, cities are damn near empty
>check reddit>YAAAASSS LETS GO YOSHIT PISS CENSOR THOSE CHUDS THAT CRITICIZE YOUR GAME, WE WILL JUST MAKE UP RANDOM THREATS IN OUR HEAD WITH NO PROOF. SLAAAAYY YOSHIT SLAAAAYYYYYY *game dies more*yoshit reddit cultists are mentally ill
>letting a corporation live rent-free in your head
>>734168895I mean apparently corporations let haters live rent free in their head because they shut down a whole website over critique kek
>>734168895>drama literally started from SE and CBU3 crying that a forum was discussing the abysmal financial dataLMAO
>>734168972>>734169083how does this affect you?
>>734168895it's so weird
>how does this affect you?
you vill not make fun of ze wuk lamat.
>>734161012the pso2 thread is that way retard.
>>734169132not really. they let ffxiv live rent-free in their head so that's why you have daily anti-SE and anti-Yoshipee threads
>>734169116It impacts me greatly because I can farm (you)s with the information.
These threads are shitposted so hard and full of so much doom posting, that any remotely positive or defensive post gets more replies and seething than any bait ever could.Now that's funny.
Y'all niggahs ready to go home when ShB becomes F2P?
>>734169716it's so bizarre
>>734169937and funny
Just another reason to never buy SEslop.
>>734157989>fineA fine is issued exclusively as legal punishment from a lawmaking organ of government. When a private company does it it's called an extortion.
The apology is hypercuck shit too lmao
>>734170380what was actually saidanyone have screenies
>>734170380>apologize, pay a fine, or get turbofucked by squeenix's lawyer hitsquad.the game was rigged from the start.
>>734168895>Do not disobey the Corporation. I will force you to kneel and take your finances. You will apologize as I take food from your mouth. This is your Final (Fantasy) Warning, never again express opinions that question Square Enix's Rule ever again.I think anyone with values and isn't a Jew should be against corporations controlling your body, and forcing words out of your mouth while stealing from you.
>>734170491probably that Dawntrail sucks and Yoshi-P had a fucking cry again
>>734170507>Do not disobey the Corporationwhat the fuck are you eve babbling about?
>>734170525fucking kek>>734170563just schizo things
>>734170507>Final (Fantasy) Warningkek
>>734170507I think you shouldn't give a shit, because said corporation makes garbage anyway.
>>734170507>>734170632it wasn't even funny samefag
Because if it's true(and not confidential) you can't go after people. In japan they can go after you lawfully if you "besmirch their honor".
>xitter thread about corporation
>>734158154How's that boot taste, faggot?
>>734170689Bad financial records shouldnt even count as bismirching their honor since SE bismirched themselves. Stating their own failure isnt staining them with failure.
good never buying anything with their logo on it again :)
>>734170742see>>734170491Can you show me what was even said for SE to react like this? People complain about FFXIV every single day, so I highly doubt it was just random complains or financial bullshit.
>>734170563Obviously, I was talking about Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd.Are you fucking stupid? How could you not gather that?
>>734170742>grrr you must blindly hate corporation you never think about with me or you're a bootlickrr
>>734157989>coming after 4chanits just some shitty matome ad rev site copy and pasting 5ch posts, because nips companies can`t do shit about hiromoot boards
>>734170852retard
Imagine if companies in the US had the power to nuke shitposters from orbit. Like one day you’re laughing at a fat tranny working at BioWare, the next day you’re in court facing a $500 fine from EA lawyers
>>734170682Damn. You're wrong as fuck. I made you mad, and someone else laugh.I can't ask for anything better than that.
>>734170972>couldn't even produce a screenshot after all this timelmao
>>734170764Last game I bought that had the Square Enix logo on it was FF12.Probably never buying another game from them at this rate.
>>734157989If you don't harass the staff like they did they won't come after you. Is it really that hard for you to not harass somebody?
>>734171003I don't do things for you. I will call you wrong, and say that your mother sucks jeet dicks however.
>>734171108okay samefag
>>734171108KWAB
>>734171093>m-muh harassmentsPerhaps said staff should make good games, not shite, then they wouldn't get harassed.
>>734160046neither do I>>734160102got source?
>>734171131Oh no. Something bad might happen to me. Alternatively, nothing will happen. And you'll sit there with impotent rage.
>>734171186You don't even know what happened do you? You're just another pitchfork waving retard.Reminds me of when SE recently made a clause to protect them from physical harm being done to then in their own offices or shit like firebombs, and retards thought they meant general criticism. I feel this is very much the same situation.
>>734171272oh yeah I remember that
>>734171186If you don't like the game then just stop playing it and move on, subhuman.
>>734171376I will.
>>734171416yeah right
>>734171376No, I need to obsess.
>>734157989they can get in line, reminder 4chan owes the EU and the bongs hundreds of thousands on fines for not making the site safe for their shit eating garbage euro monkeys.
>>734171521Jesse wtf are you talking about?
>734171459Not getting a (You) for this one, faggot.
>>734161921Haha
>>734162323The game doesn't NEED to improve, you humanoid filth.
Looks like SE's next quartertly financial report will be radiant.
>>734171728You think a multi-billion dollar 4000 employee international company gives a shit what you whiney faggots think?
>>734171581keep obsessing
>>734171832I don't care what some soulless boomer-corpo "thinks". I'm just here to laugh as their stock plummets.
/v/ has been claiming SE was bankrupt for 20 years now
>>734171964Untrue.
>>734157989>wow japan really is so grea-
>>734171998lol fuck off
>>734171998oh are we gonna re-write history now?
>>734172046You seem to be trying.
>>734170563You missed what this whole thread is about?
>>734172076trying what? you're the one pretending /v/ hasn't been claiming SE was going bankrupt every few years for almost two decades
>>734172076fuck off retard
>>734157989ah yes, the retarded jap company who thinks punishing negativity among (former) fans will work out for themkek i'm sure this will work out for them despite it never having done so for any company ever
>>734172141>was bankrupt>is going bankruptThese are two different things. Is this one of those situations where like African languages don't have any future tense?
>>734172219Pushing retarded people for harassing the staff will work out for them.
[SAD NEWS]
Why do japs love to scrape and bow for corpos?
>>734172281yeah can't wait to see another profit dip next quarter lmaoyou think people stand for this shit?japan is notorious for quiet economic rebellions
>>734172256nta but shut the fuck up newfagthere are "se" is dead all the time and there have been since forever
>>734172425how does this affect you?
>>734157989Does anyone actually care what this braindead corporation does with its irrelevant franchises? XIV especially is far beyond it's heyday.
>>734172425Delete this, anon-san, before Square Enix finds you!!
>>734157989SPHEEEEEEEENEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, LISTEEEEEN TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEE, MAKE ME A SCION TO OWN THE CHUDS!

>>734172703Maybe he's an investor? Lmao, THAT would be sad news.
>>734172953kek
>>734157989kek japan is a shithole
>still no source on what was published
>could spend time and money fixing this game and its engine>could have actually listened to people who touch every aspect of the game>proceed to get cocky and not fix shit, shit out a random story and then somehow decided to kill mods which the majority of remaining players useWhat is even the fucking gameplan here?
>>734160829I finished the trial up to the end of Stormblood and you're telling me this shit gets better before it crashes? Because it's the same goddamn fetch quest for the whole main storyline!
>>734170863Yes. Organizations built entirely to drain you of your resources with as little effort as possible should be subject of ire.
>>734173529>!
>>734170826>Can you show me what was even said for SE to react like this?the comment section SE got triggered at got nuked within 24h and it's not on internet archiveI can guarantee to you that there was no doxxing or anything like that though, because the entire userbase of the website was deeply confused why the Admin vanished for an entire month and left the website to rot.
>>734173865he must've done something serious then
>>734173865I don't believe you saar
Why is he such a fucking bitch?/Xivg/ told me he was a wholesome chungus foxy gamer granpa.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/umadori0726/archives/61935892.htmlUmadori, the second biggest FF14 blog in Japan, has now also decided to shut down because the Admin is scared of SE coming after him.
>>734173732I take that for a "no, Square doesn't improve quest design."
>>734157989>>734174178talk shitget hit
>>734173529>mmo plays like an mmowooooooooooooooow
>>734174265kek watching DSP play FFXIV would be hilarious
>>734174178WHAT THE FUCK
>>734174239/thread
>>734174239You're a faggot.Gonna hit me? Haha, you can't bitch haha lmao.
>>734174265This wouldn't necessarily be a problem if people didn't wack off the story to where the shitty MMO gameplay hinders getting to the next boring storyline.Supposedly, Square pulled a WotC and makes the whole thing Avengers: Endgame-a-like? Because they have those alternate Warriors of Light only for them to fuck off and apparently the boxart for Endwalker is one of them again or whatever.
>>734162006LEAVE THE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY ALONE!
>>734157989Turn on the news, Hiroshimoot just got extradited for anti-corporate sentiments against Squeenix!

>>734172802Why the fuck did they make this character?
>>734160829no chance in hell they have over 500k actives.
Daily reminder that Yoshi P is a tranny fucker who tried to dox a japanese housewife for shielding her childs eyes from a tranny in the street.
>>734167871So uhhh, maybe an MMO which has a huge sub fee should have content between MSQ dribbles?
>>734175345Here's your xiv content, bro.
>>734174839The hell you on about, I want to see sprouts get fucking demolished by Red Comet, Mathman, and Litore again.And that stupid shadow dog in the raids.
>>734175420>Beatrix outfitwait what the fuck
>>734175345>huge sub feelol thirdie
>>734175581So you're cool with paying 150 bucks a year for shit content? That's cool, I'll go buy two triple A games for that instead or countless indie games with infinitely more content.Sorry Yoshit, you gotta earn my money and you failed.
>>734175420Is this The Sims? No wonder it attracts so many people who cut their dicks off.
>>734175664cool story jeet
>>734175795I'm so glad to see you survived the foolish attack on the pakistani consulate saaaar!
>>734157989Please do, fuck sellsfags up the ass.
Good. Square Enix showing what fragile bitches they are will only further weaken their company, IPs and stock. Stupid mongs.
>>734157989>which criticized the social standing of the FFXIV staffyou mean rightfully calling them woke faggots?
>>734176390No by pointing out their current financial situation actually
>>7341762702 more weeks!
