I am seeing on the forums that there is a large amount of discontent with the fact that Producer/Director Yoshida did not lay out a plan on how he intends to solve the problem. This has led to wild speculations such below.
  • "SE only wants X number of subscribers. They got more customers than they anticipated. So they are OK with losing all the extra customers that bought the game."
  • "SE knew that this was going to happen. That is why they purposely separated the Japanese Worlds from everyone else."
  • "SE has no plan. This is actually how they want the game to operate going forward."

... and there are even more outlandish ones floating around the forums (e.g. "SE is racist.")

To curtail this, we should be told what the plan is.

But as many of you have pointed out (and I personally know from dealing with people from Japan), if you do not ask about something specifically, they don't volunteer information about it.

So, I'm asking.
