Believe it or not, more people playing here doesn't benefit me. If the amount of legitimate bug reports was influenced by the total amount of players, then yes, I'd want there to be as many as possible. However, I learned a long time ago that the majority of players don't report bugs. The ones that do, consistently make reports and are very helpful. (<3 u all)
If you believe players motivate unpaid developers.. that's simply not true in my case. If this was a business that was dependent on total subscriptions, I'd be persuaded by financial managers to please as many people as possible. Thankfully, that is not the case, and idgaf.

I respect your standpoint, and love the work you do. But I find it extremely hard to believe that if the servers all-of-a-sudden dropped to 0 concurrent users daily, and all positive (and negative) feedback completely vanished, with no forum posts, bug reports, or anyone outside the core development team to parley with, that there would be as much motivation to maintain this project.
Motivation does not have to be financial to be meaningful, far from it.
