*facepalm* No, no, no. The forums are a very small sample size with, like I said, a HUGE self-selection bias. Any pollster worth their salt would NOT draw conclusions based on a poll that covered even 10% of the player base, to say nothing of the other methodological problems involved. Not to mention that there's no confidence interval or anything. Really careless. Please learn some stats or at least experimental design before you start shooting off at the mouth about that.

Yeah, FFXIII-2 is a sign of decay. There was also a recession and a tsunami, which would have had their long-term effects too. Deciding that this is all about "not listening to the customer" is fundamentally arrogant and misguided. Not saying it's a bad theory, but CONCLUDING IT based on this evidence is a bad idea.

People will also be unwilling to waste their money on a comapy that is refuse to get with the times. far to long they have traded on name alone and the fact they sold over a millon copies of 14 and only 30k play it for free is another sign. They are now seeing that name alone has limits. Other people will just leave with out voicing thier reasons for dong so.

Something that SE should take time to add is a survay that is not a option when you cancel, a simple muti-chioce and a optional essay section.

True enough.

hmm. Yeah, I like the sounds of that. Not saying they'll do it, most people will probably be angry enough to just fill in whatever trolling comments they want, but it might be worthwhile if enough people cancel. Of course, then they'll have to deal with a bunch of whiners saying "I don't wanna" and calling SE to complain about it... but hey, you know? It might still be worth doing.

Nonetheless, there's still a self-selection bias because the people who don't quit don't have to fill out the survey, so the results are still skewed. That's why, in the science business, we say "The results support the hypothesis" or "The results fail to support the hypothesis", NEVER "The results PROVE the hypothesis".
