Agreed. What determines growth is "Is it more than it was a this same point in the last expansion", and all of the data seems to say yes, meaning growth. And we do have a lot of big name games coming out that people want to take a break from FF14 to go play before coming back. "how bad FF14 is in comparison" is the absolute dumbest take possible. People always take breaks to go play other big games they've been anticipating. FF16 is only one of many. I've been looking forward to Remnant 2, and it's going to suck my gaming time for the next couple weeks.

This is normal.

Again, growth is happening if we're apples-to-apples, expansion-on-expansion-at-this-point higher in number than we were in the last one, and we seem to be. Therefore, the game is growing. /shrug
