I didn't know that but I'll take a look and see on how is going to be. But IMHO, the timing is good because we all know what comes next year and that's also going to affect every game. And as long as there is a demand, it's probably that will be better than the past years.

I guess that there are just really loyal players and the devs have managed to maintain that through updates that they've made which was liked by the investors/players.
