The bad player retention that Shubla speaks of, I think, is not something we can or should generalize on. It seems from evidence that the game as it is at world start has bad retention, yes, but who is to say that the game in a mature world would have equally bad retention? We've never had an injection of players into a mature world so we can't know.
Here's my next thought: if word of mouth is where Jorb wants players to be drawn from, then is this another way of saying 'advertising' of the game is acceptable to him if it is done by people other than seatribe et al? I don't think he'd classify me telling my friends about the game as advertising, but what about me posting to my social media about it? What about me shouting about it from a megaphone in city square? What about me promoting my own posts on social media by paying for them? Is the line expense based? If I spend $10 on an instagram campaign of an unofficial H&H-themed account, is that crossing a line for Seatribe? Or am I simply being passionate about my word-of-mouth campaign?
i guess they never miss huh
