$100 x 1 player = $100 a year, revenue lost (higher it a player pays per month, but let's keep it at the lowest amount, to keep it simple).

When that should reach 10 players, it's $1000 a year, revenue lost. For 100 players, it's $10,000 a year, revenue lost. When it reaches 1000 players, it's $100,000 a year revenue lost.

Yes, that's great advice.
Still it is your choice just as it is to SSG what they provide for VIP costs... Have you maybe thought that it is a possibility that ex-vip players end up spending more money even if it doesn't feel like it does when spread out over a year?

Maybe what you're after is for the Prod to have come out and said... hey folks we are also having a bad year... we are real people and are affected by Covid like the rest of you. We are working from home for the most part which makes development difficult because we don't have access to the same infrastructure and hardware than normal and so we can't offer X,Y and Z but we can offer the best we can and reflect that in the price but we still have overheads and if you want this game to go on then buy our content which costs less than a pizza and hopefully we can get back to normal service hopefully sometime during the next year....

Then ask for that !!..... (instead of firing pot shots at everyone else to cover for a poor argument)

To be honest I think that is exactly what he said (Severlin) if you look beyond your own narrow field of annoyance.

If you are correct and we spiral into oblivion and Lotro closes down, then you can pat yourselves on the back, feeling vindicated that because they gave you the content for free earlier in the year.. VIP and further Lotro no longer has any value to you and so you dropped?

I will also as a parting gift come on here and say you got it right and give you a /swordsalute before they close the servers down...
