Congratulations! If you know Japanese, you might qualify as a marketing/sales forecaster for a major Japanese gaming company! Your elite skills are on display right here ...

The game has been running fine since Shadowbringers launched back in, what, 2019. The rapid implosion of World of Warcraft in 2021, and the drift of players looking for something new was not predicted back in March of 2020. Why would a major company, just at the start of a major world-wide pandemic, suddenly decide to increase the number of servers in the existing data centers when projected growth was well within bounds of the current hardware, and the continued existence of a large player base was put into doubt by events beyond the corporations control?
