It's been like 4 months and not a hint of an update.

I wanna know. It was obviously *** but where's the follow up. Where's the closure.

Just incase anyone is unclear, there were dmca take downs, they did happen, it just was not square issuing them.

Man, until you posted this just now, I forgot entirely of the PS drama that swept the forums just a couple months ago.

So did everyone. This is totally just to bait people into making the forums active for a minute.

I'll go next:

POS hacking isn't cheating. It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.

I genuinely want an update. I'm really god damn tired of never getting closure on anything anymore.

(Because I'm the only one who knew it was fake and didn't flip out, but still)

A quick googling shows the streamer in question still doing XI pserver content as of last week, though it isn't labeled pserver or Horizon or anything like that.

Make of that what you will.

It was multiple streamers, and all of them ***themselves hiding horizon from the tags/titles, but most of them have it back.

Probably double fake for clout since they went back to streaming it like next day and got partner on twitch. If it were real they would not go right back to streaming.

Probably fake, but someone leaked a spreadsheet containing info about thousands of money donations for the server and Aerec confirmed those allegations by replying positively. Ninja (the streamer) has been donating lots of money to the server every month. I'm not surprised if SE sent DMCAs if these servers are generating lots of unpublished revenue.

leaked? I am pretty sure that leak implies unintended release of information, but iirc they released it to support their argument. the argument being that ninja does not "pay for the server"

No it's real, people give money to things cause they want positions / clout. You would be amazed how much money people will give for minimal amounts of clout on things that don't even really matter.

Also it's a common tactic for private servers / people related to them to pretend they got a DMCA when they get bored and wanna quit running it.

If it's the spreadsheet I'm thinking of, and it's true, then the amounts on it would exonerate more than incriminate. They aren't making bank, they have less than a year of hosting costs covered ahead of time.

Of course, it wouldn't be that hard to make a spreadsheet like that and leave out donations. Can't take it at face value.

End of the day, as long as they aren't obnoxious to retail players nobody will really care what they get upto. Only reason people got riled up was the annoying promotion in retail spaces.

You're probably right

Atleast I can criticize SE's negligence towards FFXI and not get banned for it. The same can't be said for anyone who says anything negative about Horizon or their staff.

Forget HorizonXI. One cringe post on the official XIV forums recently.



Really? I guess welcome to the English forums, where some people will complain about everything and turn themselves into entitled gamers. Now, they are forever wondering if Yoshi-P has already lost his interest in XIV and wants to do something else. It is not good for mental health. 

I just built my new PC and am ready for the next expansion anyway I am not poor.
