Final Fantasy XIV summons over 20 million players

Square Enix announced today that Final Fantasy XIV has surpassed the 20 million registered players mark.

The first version of Final Fantasy XIV launched in 2010, but it was a disaster. Players reacted so poorly to the online multiplayer game that Square Enix remade it, releasing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn in 2013. This version has fared much better, having received three major expansions since its debut. And since players pay a subscription to experience newer content, it has become a strong revenue source for Square Enix.
