I think this is a relevant admission of reality. In fact, I don't see how anyone would question that. FC is a company (a publicly traded one), it's products and services and their customers don't tend to have a 'compromising' relationship. No single person should think they are going to bully FC on the forums into making a change to the game. The communication is always related to the fact that FC makes a decision to make a change. If it's based on player feedback, they tell us, but most the time, it's not. Lindelu is right and anyone with a sense of how business works understands what she's talking about. Unless you are a shareholder in FC, WE do not have a say in how they run their business. That EVEN comes down to how they implement the newest shiny thing or the way they decide to communicate with us.
