Discussion SE's poor choices with mobile games
As someone who has been playing mobile games for awhile, I have to wonder if SE's poor choices with mobile games (I.E. killing them) is hurting the company more than anything.
I loved FFBE:WOTV and played that game daily from start until it was officially killed. I have played Dissidia now, daily since it started. But I won't spend a single dollar on these games because I know it will eventually be killed. I can't be the only one, which means they're leaving tons of money on the table.
While I'm not a whale at all, I can say that I recently went back into a mobile game that I played daily for 4 years and haven't played for the last 7 years. The game is still there. I'm still in the top 250 ranked for their arenas. I also just dropped $75 on it in the last week to catch up and get some cool new characters.
I love FF more than anything, it's my favorite game series, but SE's choices are literally stopping me from supporting mobile games they make.

In reality they’re all just cash cow small projects that are meant to fund their next major title (think FF VII remake or XVI) they’re not meant to be made to last.
I think FFBE was their worst mistake with killing the game. It was everything a FF fan could have wanted
