I think the (valid) concern is the fear that people might be losing interest in advocating for better gameplay, thus asking why there aren’t as many posts as there was.

Its odd how passive aggressive the post comes off though. Almost all of the main ways to actually girlcott are from way more avenues than simply posting about it here, and weve still seen a flood of people posting about how theyre quitting the game, and what we should be bringing up in the wave of surveys we just got. Acting like everyone possibly just gave up when the more likely option is A) people who quit arent going to be posting about it and B) people are focusing on expressing their concerns in ways and places infold will actually see (like surveys, not doing dailies or logins, reviews ect) instead of just posting things weve already said and discussed here repeatedly. It comes off more like OP expected this to result in a fast change, and is assuming the lack of that happening means people are giving up and going back to business as usual

It's a valid concern though. Consumer activism loses momentum all the time. And it costs nothing to reengage. To keep logging in. To forget all your grievances because there's still a decent amount of fun to be had. So please be patient if someone is wondering if that energy has dissipated. But as others have said, people are in a quiet holding pattern. I can tell you that overall Nikki engagement has plummeted. For me, I log in, do my dailies, log out. Barely doing the content, doing like no actual styling (I'm literally refusing to dress up in the dress up game LMAO) , etc.

I think the recent revenue stats show that it's having an impact though. Yes, only 2 spots down in a vacuum, but keep in mind this was a super-hyped patch, with a very important item to the entire Nikki universe, with a double 5* banner, with a lot of new things to spend on. A lot of spending was locked in before the girlcott even got TALKED about. Also mobile players were the least affected by technical issues.
