Farewell... May the force be with you, guys

You know, the amount of guys quitting should be a sign to Pixonic that they screwed up.

You have data to support this?

Fixed it for ya! 

I can guarantee that what we see here isn't indicative of the entire War Robots player base... WIKI pages/forums have always been the place for a select group... not the average player.

IMO, YMMV

This is why these sorts of opinions are so problematic. 

First, this board is hardly a representative sample size of the War Robots playerbase. The game has one million active users per day. This place is a grain of sand on the beach. 

Second, we're even less of a representative sample because we're as far from random as you can get. Anyone spending time on an internet message board for their hobby is closer to a hardcore fan than a causal one. 

Finally, you're pointing to a perceived increase in departures (from a miniscule, non-representative population) as evidence to support your claim, without even considering the possibility that having a newly-made, special subforum for departures might actually increase their prevalence. People who were already departing before may well have been less likely to post a goodbye thread. And like suicides, goodbye threads might prompt more goodbye threads from people who were leaving anyway, but might not have ordinarily made a goodbye thread. 

Logically, this is like when my elderly mother complains about how much more dangerous the world is today because she hears more bad stories on the news. I can drop reams of data in her lap that crime rates for most crimes are atually going down, but she sees more of it on the news than she used to, so it must be true.

My Gf quit playing a few months ago too... she wasn't that good, though. ;/

You're making a lot of assumptions there, and that's what I'm keying off of. As I wrote on the blog, lots of companies do these sorts of things. Pixo has undercommercialized this game. Putting in measures to increase revenue is not in and of itself evidence of falling revenue. 

Also, the notion that if diehards are quitting, casuals must be quitting even more is unsustainable. The casual audience looks for different things from their gaming experience. It's not just a factor of "time spent per day." 

I think you're missing the point. The expectations of the casual audience can be widely different. You're making an assumption here that casuals want the same thing as hardcore players. 

Sure, though their definition of those things may differ. Winning to someone else might be doing well and having fun, and not caring about the matchmaker at all. A "fair fight" is highly subjective too. Veterans might get frustrated at the buff/nerf cycle, while a casual player jumping all over Bronze in his Cossack is having the time of his life and could care less. 

Amazing and perplexing at the same time how this thread evolved.

Later GreenFace and may the force be with you. ?

Wait wait...so you're saying this forum doesn't in fact represent the whole of the playerbase?! Do you have any circumstantial data tailored specifically to illustrate your assertion? I would accept that blindly as I shift into a rudimentary groupthink position.

What fraction that leave post goodbyes, vs what fraction that are new post hello.  

He can pick his account up later, as it was through Google games.

Ok. No harm done than besides losing a player (which is sad).

Thank you, Captains Obvious.
