FF14 player count reached the lowest point in 4 years. We lost 75% of the playerbase.

I don’t know, man. What I see is that we’re basically back to the same numbers we had before the WoW exodus during Shadowbringers.

And honestly? I don’t think that being back to ShB numbers after two full expansions is a particularly good sign. Whatever player increase XIV had during that time, SE clearly didn’t manage to hold onto it.

Whether this drop in revenue pushes CS3 to step up and put more effort into the game, or if they just keep doubling down on their current trajectory, we’ll only find out with the next expansion.

You're fine to be worried about the drop off, but that's a far shot from losing 75% of the playerbase, which is the claim of this thread.

We're not arguing about there being a dropoff, or whether there's issue with DT or not.

If you look at average it's 60%, if you look at LB it's 61%, and this is during free login too. Feel free to spin this somehow.
