That’s a big name to drop out.
It sort of feels like the old days of reddit. I had forgotten how nice it was.
Reddit used to be slowly to refresh a long time ago, before they tweaked how the front page worked. You would pretty much have the top posts all day, and maybe it would change by the evening.
It was slower paced and fostered more discussion before people would move on, but it wasnt as good at giving the novelty dopamine hit compared to a faster churn.
I bet FFXIV could build a community here. It’s still huge!
Lots of individual game subs
Thus solving the problem once and for all
Not to mention the less tangible costs too, like the company’s reputation and trust.
Or starting a gold rush for reddit competitors that didn’t exist previously.
