I think you should look at the trend. Negative trend. Let's see it at the end of the year
Need to consider other factors than just looking at the trend and deciding its solely cos ppl are unhappy.
Covid in 2020. Mandalorian release etc..
Many businesses who had a boom from covid have seen a similar downward trend in the past few years.
Also need to take into account where the world or individuals countries are, in many countries inflation is high, bills going up etc..
what it does mean is companies need to rethink their strategies and try different things to retain revenue

You mean like updating their products to deliver more value to the customer and keep up with industry trends?
That would be madness. Sheer madness.One could argue that light speed bundles are an example of updating their products to deliver more value to customers. Do you disagree?
I'm not saying that every update is going to be successful here.
I don't disagree at all - I think your post that I replied to is spot on and I believe that CG is taking necessary steps right now to continue generating as much profit as possible. Their execution this time may have been lacking but I feel like that's something they can overcome with adequate communication and maybe a few concessions.
A downward trend COULD be read as a death spiral, but I think it's alarmist and silly to read it that way without considering outside factors. It also assumes that the people that run the company will just sit by and watch it happen, which is laughable to anyone that's been watching CG for longer than a couple of years.
OP is either trying to manipulate players into quitting, or manipulate CG into acting in OP's favor (as if they don't know exactly what their earnings look like).
Either way it's pretty tin-foil hat or at the very least melodramatic to post that graphic and say "this will soon be the end".
What you are saying is correct but it has no bearing on the future of this game. It doesn't matter what the factors are, if the game is on a downward trend of revenue/profit they need to fix it. You're only as good as your last period/quarter and (assuming this is accurate data) this game is going in the wrong direction financially.
We can assume the recent changes are directly in line with that thinking and their attempt to reverse this trend.
This is only revenue, not profit.
There's no reason a company would not continue operating at a lower profit than in boom years .
You are saying they need to fix it, they may not think so
