The Pit / "Guns of Icarus" fans, holding game back.

Hello.
Some of you may be aware that "Guns of Icarus Online" was basically the featured game of Indie Royales latest bundle.
Which, as of posting this had sold 11,112 bundles. That's 11,112 new players coming into Guns of Icarus this week and at least trying it out.

You can see the exact sales numbers on that link for the next 2 days of posting this at least, after that the bundle will be off sale and you probably won't be able to see the sales statistics. It's the "Mash Bundle"
Usually, there is maybe.. what? 100-200 players online at some of the games busier times. So you might ask yourself, where is this flock of players who were probably playing Guns of Icarus for the first time at some point this week. Where did they go?

This is what you did to them. Guess where they went? To play the other games in their bundle.
This game could of potentially received a healthy boost to it's playerbase this week, but it didn't due to these kind of team stacks.
If you try to tell me team stacking isn't common in this game, while I can't provide evidence of that (not sure how I would anyway, conduct a huge survey?), I will just laugh at you.
