You know, the developers have access to the raw data who plays their game, for how long and how they play it, and what are the cut off points for disengagement.

You hire couple of analysts and boom, you got an idea what the silent majority looks like. Game developers don't have too guess. Behaviour is not silent.

Yes and no. The issue is looking at that data doesn't account for nuances and context. Such as how many people are doing something simply due to necessity? Or in the case of the Manderville weapons. Sure more weapons are being created. However how many players are simply creating and upgrading the weapons as a means to just dump tomes accumulated doing their weekly's?
