what's ironic here is that wgt is truly in it's marketing infancy yet is poised to find it's prime. There is some serious outreach and buy-in by my eye that' has all involved catering to those yet reached. Makes sense.
though many have been here for years and years - and arguably some of the best there've been here - these changes are not spun out to add to their enjoyment of the game at all- it's new blood that is the aim here I think. Sure, an angle can be found for the spokesmen to spin it as great for all and some long toothed players will say how it's given them a new vigor and enjoyment level but hey.... For every one long timer or even less long-in-the-tooth players that leave for whatever reason surely 5 will replace them.
i dunno - seems like the drum head should need replacing every month by what we read and hear from folks for the most part - but it's the voiceless and yet to arrive that will carry wgt and investors financially - and that's what they care about for the most part.
I dare say the days of new players committing 5/6/7/8+ years, as what we have here now, are over - it just will be more short term reward but quantity should offset for the company
their banking I'm wrong about the exodus and replacement and surely that it still would make financial sense any how. either way - they're here to stay by the looks of it - old flaws and new - so best to see what box we fit in and check it - play on
