Why PoE 2 is failing.(My unprofessional, nerdy, worthless opinion/Rant)

Looking at player counts without understanding WHY people are not playing is poor research tbh. I'm totally not sure how one can simply look at a number and then magically understand how tens of thousands of people think. You should be in politics with those skills, not playing POE2.

Saying that you are not "edumacated" is a pretty nice way to destroy any argument you may make. "I want to rant, but nothing I'm ranting about should be listened to because I'm uneducated by my own admission. I don't have any type of data to back up my assertions, but you should believe me because I looked at a number AND my friends don't want to play." Super solid, fact based research friend.

* People can stop playing because they dont have the time right now.
* People can stop playing because they play too much and their parents or family memebers stopped them. Addiction IS a thing.
* People can stop playing because they are waiting for the next league and enjoying their time on another game in the meantime.
* People can still love the game, but are dabblers, they arent long term players. They play shittons of games and are always moving on to a new one.

"The earth is flat bro, believe me. Do your own research!"

I love the game and am waiting for some spare tiem to sit down and play it again. Its literally as simple as that.

it's failing because it's not good enough
