It wont take 4-6 months for players to drop off the game, this was a new expansion, people will leave just like they always do, a lot of the players in 14 are MSQ enjoyers which is fine, but they only come back for major patches for the story and that's it, then there are people who lost interest etc etc.

This "massive" spike aint the massive spike you make it sound like it is

I think now is a good time for you to accept that the congestion is done artificially by SE to justify the DC travel locks, there's actually no congestion or barely none.
Agree with Stormy.

I'm a MSQ enjoyer and then I let my sub lapse shortly afterwards to go do other things/play other games. Steam isn't the total playercount obviously, but it's a big enough sample to be generally representative of the playerbase. I think you'd find the same trends no matter what platform. (speaking of which, i think my sub is done... )
