nom. make a niche game. Game dont need to hagve 2 milion subs to be succesfull. All you need is about 200k accounts. Look at eve. its a perfect niche game, with arount 2-3 hundred tousands subs, and 40k people playing at given time. And game is growing, devs are able to give players 2 big free expansions a year, a 3 day long fanfest, and start to make other games, and supporrt 3 developement studios. And they do that not by listennign to people who play for 2 hours and find it confusing and stupid, but by listening to people who took their time to learn understand and enjoy the present mechanics.
