That's an assumption on your part, however. Some staff may feel that their duty is merely to maintain an existing game-- handle the server payments, fix things that break, etc. If the staff hasn't promised to move the game "forward", it should not be an expectation/right of the players.

"Forward" is a subjective assertion, in any event. The staff may be moving the game in a different direction than one particular player wants, or even in a direction that all of their current players oppose at the time. It's arbitrary to claim that's a "violation"-- the staff may be interested in pleasing other players on the same game, or even drawing in a certain crowd who hasn't started playing yet.

Take examples of formerly free games that started selling perks or charging monthly fees. Were the players' "rights" violated there?
