I think this is an interesting video for XI players.

Some things it covers:

Player numbers

Peoples mindset of what is and is not successful has been totally skewed out of all proportion by WoW and other games. It's also worth pointing out the "big games" embellish numbers and are in constant PR battles with each other to appear way bigger than they really are.

It's like if you have a job paying 100k a year and you think it's garbage because Elon makes a million dollars a day. That would be idiocy, and so comparing some big game to one you play is equally as silly. The vast majority of successful games are in the 10-50k range

It's ok to appeal to a niche audience.

Games like Fortnite want to appeal to as many people as possible to be as big as possible, and in the end fully appeal to nobody. These games are basically vanilla $2 ice cream for the masses.

If someone comes to your game and it does not appeal to them, it's completely ok for them to leave. It's not a failure of your game, it's that they were not a match for the experience you're offering that your core audience do like.

If you can get your operating costs down - which SE has by splitting it with FFXIV - then it's mostly a profit exercise.
