I would argue that the ‘consumer’ of a product is the only person with a truly valuable opinion, because your product is directed at him or her.
You ultimately want to attract more consumers. So you’ll give them more of what they enjoy or keeps them happy for as long as possible right?
So in this game it would have to be a player, whether he or she is active 1 hour per week, or fifty.
So basically the players who spend the most money on the game - these are the opinions you want to listen to, so they can keep paying, and you wanna get as many new players to pay also.
That’s my theory lol.
