to admit fault and express frustrations bluntly i fully respect him.

Thank you for the post.

As for the shut down, it can happen. Dont think because it's SE it wont. They have the money to push it further than most other companies but other companies shut-down within their first year and SE is coming up to that year. If XIV cant make a profit and never does, it has to be shut-down, SE don't grow money on trees. If you was a shareholder would you invest in SE? I would not. I wouldn't even pay $15/m on this game.
