The top streamer Summit1g actually just wanted to defeat a boss in Final Fantasy XIV, but that didn’t happen. However, it wasn’t due to the streamer’s or his team’s lack of skill, but rather an embarrassing oversight.
Who played? The streamer Jaryd Lazar aka “Summit1g” has also recently jumped on the FF14 bandwagon. Currently, many successful content creators are streaming the MMORPG from Square Enix, including the well-known top streamer Asmongold who gained fame through WoW.
But for Summit1g, an epic boss fight that he was supposed to dominate, ended up going quite embarrassingly wrong.
Group wipe because successful streamer didn’t pay 12.99
What happened? Summit1g and his group were just in the process of fighting the boss Shiva. Both the streamer and his team were doing well and dominating the fight. It was a truly epic moment with action at its peak. Monsters were running across the screen, spectacular effects were happening, and the wonderful soundtrack of the game created the necessary atmosphere.
But then suddenly the screen went black and Summit1g was back in the main menu of the game.
What was the reason? Summit1g, who is notorious for his outbursts and inappropriate remarks during live streams, wanted to start a proper tirade and let loose. But then he remembered something important that he had obviously forgotten.
“Oh, you know what happened? I think I exceeded the time!” By that, Summit1g meant the time one can play with the purchase of Final Fantasy 14. The successful streamer with over 6 million followers had likely only bought FF14, whose playtime simply expires after 30 days and is no longer playable if the subscription is not renewed.
Exactly that happened and therefore the boss fight went epically awry. If Summit1g had just paid the 12.99 for a subscription and automatically renewed it, none of this would have happened.
Players who forget their subscription out of carelessness are not among them, but if you’re looking for 7 player types that are abundant in FF14, then take a look at this list.
