That article we read yesterday was not a warning, the bans were already starting. This is why we can't have nice things. Just in case it wasn't clear, it is time to stop.

Whats up guy’s it’s yo boi

God am I really going to start saying that

Remember how I began the series of this is why we can’t have nice things? We’re now approaching the punchline of this is why we can’t have nice things. Yeah square enix is actually banning streamers now and that this is far from just an impotent statement, heads are now rolling. A once laissez faire approach is clearly starting to spin out.

This has serious implications going forward not just for streamers but for the community at large which could very easily include anti cheat like easy anticheat, commonly abbreviated EAC, which to say the least is a massive huge shift in the final fantasy 14 ecosystem. And to be clear EAC is used in Apex Legends which is extremely popular in Japan.

Also there have been arrests made for cheating in video games in Japan as well as game moding is illegal in Japan and punishable by prison and fines.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Now let’s get into it.

Yesterday I did a video about Yoshi P essentially saying stop this madness with third party tools, defining third party tools, hacks, mods, user interface enhancements, talking about high end duties and the dragonsong’s reprise ultimate world first race, datamining and more. My real question is why was pvp not mentioned in this where these pvp cheaters are actually interfering with my gameplay personally ruining my experience? Anyhow dropping that pvp topic for a different video. I’m not going to rehash the entire article but the large underpinning is basically calm down the madness.

Which makes perfect sense, the world first race got a ton of eyes on final fantasy 14’s endgame scene. Shadowbringers brought the mass world of warcraft player exodus to final fantasy 14 and then endwalker hit which was an absolutely roaring success.

So this being the first piece of ultimate raid content released in quite literally 2.5 years since the epic of alexander,l this combined together to be a far bigger event than honestly even most of my friends who were streaming it expected.

Problem alert, red hot problem alert! People were using obvious third party tools and many of them had them overtly put some of these tools front and center on their screen.

Now people want to pin this or that or whatever else on why this is happening. But one proposed reason is that, shockingly world first race for ultimate had drama. Somehow literally years later no the community has not gotten any less obsessively petty about being the first people to clear a fight in a video game. Chill there is not.

This has been theorized to have had the world first clears obtained due to third party tools. Now to add the disclaimer again, I personally don’t care at all and I’m genuinely so busy with my own life and stuff I don’t care. Fly a pig to the moon for all I care. But the problem is other people care a lot and are absolutely horrifically upset about it.

But cycle back to what I said before, this is very different than the epic of alexander because the sheer scale of people has completely changed. I remember like a year and a half ago people were talking about me being a shining rising star in our community and now I’m a busted up up hack Mr. Happy Wannabe that apparently no one wants to collab with because gay. Alongside other joyful stuff that made me have a breakdown during work yesterday. Oh how the turntables.

Point being? The community has definitely changed and so the ramifications of this have and will change.

Surely it would be absolutely shocking if Sony executives heard about this. You know playstation and Sony that have basically been controversially sold out of PS5 for eons and undeniably have a lot of money.
