Even ignoring the fact that FFXIV is a MMO, meaning that I already had zero interest in it to begin with, any game that requires you to wait in a fucking line for an hour or more before you can actually play it is a game that I will never be buying, let alone playing, I don't give a fuck how ostensibly good said game may be, especially if they are literally saying that, no, you physically cannot buy the game right now even if you wanted to, because they apparently have too many players already. Also, unlike these guys, I don't see it as a sign that the game is wildly successful, I see it instead as a sign that the devs/pubs royally fucked up and didn't properly plan to have enough capacity to let the people who wanted to play the game, you know, play the fucking game. If they can fuck up something that important, who's to say they won't fuck up other shit in the future.

It's basically the same as crowing about how you SOLD OUT of all your products in just 15 minutes.... when you only had 1 to sell.

But yeah, pretty much the same for me in that IF I had any interest in playing it, which I don't, shit like that would have just killed it for me. And in all honesty it would have shitlisted the entire publisher and dev at the same time if I bought a game and then later on was hit with a waiting room.

I gripe enough about having to wait for the fucking consoles to insist on patching themselves and the game I'm about to play on the spur of the moment - as usually the urge to play said game is gone by the time it'll actually grant my request to load it. A waiting line that can last an hour plus just for the honor of logging in? All because they won't put the resources into the game that it apparently needs? Fuck them.
