Japanese developers may have a still lag towards the new generation of Japanese gamers (which are almost strictly on Mobile with PC gaming arising).
I wonder what’s his stance towards fan made Doujinshi; yeah, I mean “those” Doujinshi.
It’s for posterity. He ‘asks’ the same of FFXIV players and yet it’s modding scene is one of the most degenerate places in gaming.
I know. Just people on these kinds of positions used to have the brains to just ignore this stuff and pretend it doesn’t happen.
…you don’t spend much time outside of the FF14 community, huh? 😅
at least you’re admitting it’s degenerate
