And yes, he should be discreet in choosing what would be good for the game overall. I remember one certain member about a year or so that wanted Yoshi to add in every feature every MMO had going on at the time, without any regard to the overall structure of the game. Sometimes even suggesting conflicting features.
Under no definition of the word are we investors, we are consumers.

Investors, invest a specific amount of money into a project or company with the understanding that they will see a return on that intial investment, in the form of clear monetary returns. They invest primarily in the company though, hoping to reap the profits as a whole, very rarely does an investor put money into a single project, especially when we're talking about large multinational companies like Square-Enix.

As CONSUMERS of a fee based product we want a return on our payments in the form of a desirable product that we will enjoy and continue to consume...


Yeah, no matter how you cut it, investor is not the correct term for what we are
