Just in case the dev's havent seen, the one podcast that they actually go on is now over as they are unhappy with the direction of the game.
Perhaps they should stop and have a look at what's going on with their player base.
Former Gamechangers talking about boycotts, players leaving in droves and people going F2P as the latest paywalls are obscene (imo) and still no real new content to use the new characters they are selling.

Lame.
The end of them playing says alot when they were amongst the few actually in dialogue with CG.
Once i saw the requirements for the GL spending money on this game just dosnt make sense anymore.
I really cant understand why there going for such huge requirements.
Saying you retire because you lost interrest in the game isn't a lie even if you lost interrest due to not being comfortable with the recent direction the game has been moving in.
Also, how is it not a lie when you say you're not comfortable with the direction the game is moving in if you start playing again? Ofcourse people can change your minds, but in this case it kinda invalidates the reason for retiring you're so glad he shared.
PS. If he started playing again, what does that tell the devs? That they're on the right path again?
Regardless, glad he's back and the podcast goes on.
I don't listen to the podcast, nor do i know the person in question. He may or may not have a very good reason to quit and start playing again, i don't know and if i'm being honest i don't really care either.
There are indeed many different reasons why people play, quit, come back etc etc. What made me respond in this thread is that all the different reasons for quiting get ignored and it gets blamed on the game/devs by default in discussions like this one.
On top of that, generally speaking i don't care much for players who quit as a form of protest only to start playing again. This particular case may very well be an exception or maybe he didn't even quit out of protest (it just looks like he did the way it was presented in this thread).
Your last paragraph has never been not true for most of the time i've been playing this game, if not the entire time. So unless you feel like this game has only gotten worse and worse, it's pretty much a meaningless statement.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of reasons why i want to quit right now, but there are still more reasons for me to keep playing. It's pretty much impossible to like every aspect of the game and it would be silly to think this game would cater to me personally, especially because i'm f2p. I did ofcourse ask them to remove fleet entirely multiple times on this forum, unfortunately they didnt
Anyway, post like this are pointless. They have the data on how many players log in daily, keep/stop spending and what not. Maybe the podcast guy has more luck getting his opinion across to the devs, undoubtedly it's a better platform than this forum for that kind of stuff. Which is a shame, but it also made the forum quite entertaining
