Yesterday morning at about 10:45 CST the member ship number assigned to the newest member of WGT on the forum page was 6,147,138, just now I checked it and the number is 6,152,939. That is a flattering 5,801 Newb's in a little over 24 hours. Each of these Newbies will decide if they like the game or not and most will not and will leave. For those that decide to stay, each will begin to level up and begin to buy equpment, balls, avatar's etc and the money pile for WGT continues to grow.
Most of the people that are PO'd and Upset with WGT and their actions regarding game play and the recent change in the Elite collection that will probably leave the game now are at the top of the pile. Many of them acquire balls with credits won in tournaments of one sort or another, and even though some of us spend $50 or more per month playing, WGT looks at that new incoming number as a fresh money source to grow it's wealth, and if a few leave, it is no skin off their back, they know that tomorrow they will have another 3500 or so more newbies from which to draw income. Based on recent observations, and reactions from WGT, I think WGT could care less about those that decide to leave.
