i don't play ff14, but this whole thing of a new expansion/online content releasing and the servers getting overwhelmed and nobody being able to get in is simultaneously the saddest thing I've ever seen, because it keeps happening and people JUST wanna fuckin' play their game they pay money for, how do companies keep not having enough servers or underestimating demand after hyping it for weeks, and also hilarious becuase I keep remembering "three stooges syndrome" from the Simpsons.

@Nine I think it's reasonable to think that your game can only get so much more popular but it just keeps happening. Also being part of a big shitty faceless company means you have to justify expenditure to the higher-ups, even in terms of basic infrastructure. On top of that, the public infrastructure _around_ FF14's also tends to buckle under the sheer mass of the game's popularity
