The biggest complaint of Final Fantasy 14 players, especially post-Endwalker, is that they have to wait too long to get into the game. When the situation could not be resolved, Square Enix found the solution to stop retail and digital sales of the game.

yes, you didn’t misread it. Final Fantasy 14 will not sell more games for a while to prevent an increase in the number of players. In addition, registration of the Free Trial version has been temporarily discontinued, similarly no new ads will be made.

I don’t know if we’ve ever heard of this. Games did forty flips to increase player numbers, while Final Fantasy 14 had to do the opposite.

Existing players will also be given extra game time as an apology. Previously, 7 days of game time was given, square enix will now give an extra 14 days of game time and offer it to all players. All accounts with active subscriptions will benefit from this until December 21st.

Naoki Yoshida, producer and director of Final Fantasy 14, has written an extremely polite letter and shared the developments, and I suggest you readit too.
