If they sold more copies of Saltmarsh than Ravenloft, but fewer people are posting Saltmarsh LFMs or joining Saltmarsh LFMs than when Shadowfell came out, what does that portend? I'm playing it semi-regularly because I know two groups that run it. I've never had to know groups to run an expansion before.

Well, weather Saltmarsh was wildly successful or the most successful Expansion ever, congratulations to everyone at Standing Stone Games who worked on the project!

A whole lot of players continue to hold their breath and wring their hands in anticipation of Update 51. Once players have a chance to play with the new system, once build specialists offer ways to take advantage of it, moral and population should improve, leading to more groups.

Remember, this is a beginning, not an end. Even if Update 51 launches with numerous frustrating flaws, many possibilities for corrections and improvements remain. I do not accept these arguments about greed and stupidity. The developers want their game to succeed. We must accept our disagreements, discuss them, work past them, and make a better future, together. That takes compromise, patience, and time. One really never can have enough patience.

Beginning? That's denial. This is an end. An end to classic gameplay and entertainment.

Many things I enjoyed will disappear, very probably forever. Sadness and hope often arrive on the same plate.
