If I was a member of the board for Square Enix I would be absolutely livid at YoshiP and the legal team.
Mare was one of the best things to happen to FFXIV for their subscriber retention rate. Shooting myself in the foot to kill my own revenue because of a mod is crazy.
Interested to see what happens to other mods, now. There's a nonzero chance that this really snowballs to ill effect for both the development team and players.
