He doesn’t have to. So far, numbers indicate that if everyone who wants to keep cores left this game it would only amount to 12% of the [b]current[/b], engaged population. OTOH, if they were to remove cores, the uptick would be 50-60%. That’s a conservative estimate that doesn’t aggregate similar results. If we’re generous and allow that 500k* people are current, real engagements, all things being equal*, the absolute high end cost of removing cores would be 60,000 players, while the conservative estimate gained would be 275,000. That’s a net of 215,000 players, who are happy btw. *That’s 500k PVE players. *Assuming sufficient dissemination of information given normal mediums and no other actions taken by Bungie to significantly impact engagement adversely. EDIT: Apologies to everyone who voted to keep cores. I used the wrong number. It’s actually 12% not 2.5%!
