As someone who has been playing as an industrialist for 6 years, I see myself, and the game as a whole, doing just fine. The stuff that I make is selling profitably because I price it properly to begin with. I don’t need to chase the market down because I understand the cyclical nature of commodity markets. I expect my business will improve as people like you, who are unwilling or unable to adapt to change, drop out.

I think it was a Star Wars game that the server shut down after going from several tens of thousands of subscribers to around a dozen in the space of a week because of some publisher douchbaggery that completely enraged the playerbase to the point where they simply quit.
On the other hand, Battlestar Galactica Online was steady at several thousand paying subscribers when the server shut down with two weeks notice. The rage in the game chat channels was so bad the mods had no choice but to pre-empt the PEGI R-rating by shutting those down ahead of time.
