Subject: Why is the online player count dropping? A developer's perspective.

As many of you know, recent updates brought us the new forum, weather effects, and the ability for modders to sell their content and block existing mods. While new features are usually good, something went wrong. In early April, we had an average of 300 players during off-peak hours. Now, we barely hit 90 during Friday night prime time.As a developer and a long-time PW player, it’s painful to watch the project struggle like this. What happened to our game that caused a 75% drop in player count?I propose a solution: Ban modders from blocking existing mods. This 'split' in the community is directly linked to the fact that many popular mods are now paywalled or blocked. If this continues, the active player base will vanish completely.Whether this post offends you or inspires you, I’m waiting for your comments below. And hey, don’t take it too seriously—it’s just the truth.
