the good players will quit if the games profitability goes below a certain level.

Not if they're Russian, Brazilian or from an Eastern European country...

Even very low ROIs at the lowest limits will still seem attractive if your country's average wage is < $200/month.

It's not just ROI alone, but also BR requirements, because volatility increases dramatically as returns drop below 10%.

Games are always changing week to week. I remember in 2001 people were were saying "Are games getting harder?"

The is always fluctuation and a LOT has to do with college and what is going on there. Spring breaks, Moving days, exams, summer and so forth all play a huge part in the week by week fish quotients.

Th games HAVE gotten harder with the closing of many rooms to Americans. But even after that shake-out there have been loose and tight periods.

The golden months are about to begin (Nov, Dec, Jan) and the tables will soon be pretty nice if you think they have gotten tighter.

I assume that all of a sudden more students are studying in Oct after the easy days. Once they get into the day in day out routine and get their part time jobs going they will come back in November with pockets full of cash.
