Ok ask the public a question. They answer. The majority say No.....but because 30% say yes means they win.

Why do you continually say stupid shit like this? He said at least 30% of players, not "Japanese Players."

Guess what?

NA: 33.5%

This is not a win-lose vote.

It means there are enough people that want to continue playing to warrant keeping the servers open in Yoshi P's mind. I think it's pretty customer friendly of him.

It's still not about winning or losing, and nothing is forcing any of us to stay here. We aren't even going to be paying for it. He's letting us stay if we want to. That's very nice of him, considering keeping the servers up will at least cost SE something. And yes, being nice to your subscribers is a good way to keep them.

Shhh!! Moriandrio is bitterly formulating a conspiracy theory fueled by sour grapes! Don't interrupt him! SE/Yoshi is doing something good for the community! It must be undermined and ripped apart with wild, baseless conjecture!

/sarcasm off

Well said .

The words "gift horse" come to mind reading moriandrio's response. I'm not referring to the former forum member.

30% is the minimum

However, we’re going to take a look at the login numbers at the end of each month. In the event that numbers drop below 30%, we’ll take the servers down again, and decide where to go from there.
