Keeping the game basic for new players?

[Eekiki]

I, too, have a problem with Yoshi's statement. At some point--and I would argue that point has already passed us--one has to say "Okay, the flow of new players has slowed enough that it's time to stop catering primarily to them." Think of the game as a bag of microwave popcorn. Leave it in the microwave too long trying to get those last few kernels to pop and you'll end up burning the rest of it and ruining the whole bag.

And I don't know how Yoshi gets the idea that the expansion is going to bring in a substantial influx of new players. What it will bring in is a bunch of players that aren't new, but got bored and moved to something else. And if the game is still same old same old they still won't have a reason to stick around.

"Keeping it basic" is code word for "we're scared we'll make even more mistakes".

It has nothing to do with newer players.

Nothing at all.

I believe it.
