GGG does not make money with retention.

It 100 % does. Retention starts from day 2, and there was a quote that they earn most of the money in the first 2 weeks of the league.

2 weeks, not 2 hours.

Plus, retention seems to have a solid impact on the next league's leaguestart (Sentinel had decent-ish retention, leading to Kalandra's good leagestart, just like Ritual's great retention led to the glorious leaguestart of Ultimatum; and on the opposite of the spectrum, Archnemesis's poor retention caused Sentinel's lower leaguestart numbers).

It also makes sense logically - good retention means people are happy playing the game, creating a better word of mouth, resulting in higher hype for the next league.

And finally, the idea that customer retention doesn't matter for the business making money is downright a lunacy.

So let me get this:

POE gets a majour patch every 3 months and lots of minor fixes every month = bad
D3 does not get a patch since basically 2014 = good

I am confused.
