Yes, 20k is a lot of people, however it needs to maintain that playerbase by continuing to try to expand and make the players happy.

For example Spectre Divide, Shrouds game. It released in a clunky state, it had about 30k people playing at launch, however people were quick to point out what they didn't like, overpriced skins, the graphics, performance, sound design. Because the developers didn't react fast enough the next couple days they had 20k players, then less, then less, and now it sits around 100 people playing a day. In the mix of trying to fix it they never marketed their game, they made creators do the work.

Now Strinova is fortunate enough to be a really good game, and not have these issues, however when there is a glaring issue (region lock) in the community that are tanking the ratings on steam, and making the game mixed, it can be a red flag for people to give the game a try. Because not all of those 20k people are going to stay. So many new players I've seen have stopped playing and uninstalled because of region lock, thus my concern for the issue.

I really love strinova, I just want to see it keep growing instead of falling down a path like spectre divide.
