Blame SE.
They could have remastered the game any time in the past 20 years but chose not to.
You can't blame the fans for not wanting to install EverQuest in fucking 2025.
Even if they wanted to get people playing XI, they don't want to because the infrastructure cannot handle the influx. SE actually actively tries to stop XIV players from trying out XI because it would kill the servers.
They could make it free to try and advertise it on the XIV Launcher but they don't.
They could devote resources to a remaster or remake but they won't.
SE killed FFXI.
