More people have left FV than FT, certainly...milllions more play FV.
A more telling number is the percentage of players that have left either game.
On a daily basis there are currently 542,795 players of FT. That is down from a peak of 6,302,336. They've lost 5,759,541 players...over 91%.
13,366,870 people are playing FV daily. That's down from 32,479,576. They've lost 19,112,706 players but that's only 59% of their peak.
FV is the #3 app on FB while FT has slipped some and is down to #116.
All these numbers are on the web if you go look.
Clearly both games are declining but FV has done a better job of hanging on to people. Part of that is the fact that FV does a better job of advertising and thus replacing people that leave. But, a higher percentage of FV's monthly active users are playing on any given day. That indicates to me that:
a) The more frequent updates work.
b) FV players tend to be more loyal and committed to the game.
It's also worth noting that there are only currently about 7800 active members of this forum. With that small a number we aren't likely to be a fair representation of the average player. Basically the only people that come here are the fanatics, like myself, or people with problems.
