Based on the limited experience I have from my squad and some close friends here concerning numbers online:

Only one have not made it into AH3 due to old computer / graphic card.

2 refuse to fly (but kept account ) until water can be seen as water with wakes.

Others have complained about ENY with players non-upped planes/vehicles that are included, and wait until ENY restrictions ease off.

Some fly less since base-taking is much harder since uppers in planes are far less, replaced by pesky wirbies spawning / M3 hordes resupplying within a minute or 2 (this includes me).
Add to this more acks  makes it harder since many seem to chose to man them than upping in planes.

I fly more deacking missions than in AH2, but these M3's resupplying missions  make these missions almost void.

My 2 öre.

Maybe the real answer could be that the "investors" of the game are so rich, that they use this game as a tax write off. If that was the case, then the money spent on marketing would be tax write off as well.

All businesses have tax write offs. If you owned a business you'd know they have lots of taxes that can't be written off. For instance, did you know that every computer, chair, desk, machine, vehicle, etc.,  the company has to pay a tax on even though they own it? Then there is property tax, which can go up far more than your homestead. Then the tax on the building including upgrades. Matching the payroll tax you pay in. Lots of taxes when you own a business.

Never owned a business. I have been told of a few businesses that have been used as a total write off.  Just saying the lack of marketing could be relative to business write off or tax write off. For poor boy like me, all sounds the same to me. Rich investors doing what they know best.

Total write off is a misnomer. You can write off a percentage of a machine you buy. You can do it over a period of years or in certain circumstances you can write most of it off in a year or two. That is most of the taxable worth of the purchase. Not the whole machine. You still owe yearly taxes on the machine as long as you own it.

Most folks would be shocked at how businesses are taxed and how much have to be paid. That is even with the so called write offs.

If you own a business that has no brick and mortar then you miss out on quite a bit of that fun.

Antisocial media. Many do not use it at all.

What % equal many? http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/11/11/social-media-update-2016/

As a small business owner taxes are what kill us.

Looks like about 40% of men over 50 aren't using the most popular social media (Facebook).  I'm guessing that is an important demographic for AH.

One of the problems is that for the most part the only people who play this game are elderly english speaking north americans. Only a tiny amount of foriegners play AH. At 0400 US central time the MA is for all practical purposes empty. Once again the yanks are the only ones pulling their own weight. Africans, eurasians, aussies and pacific islanders and south americans all need to step up and start doing their part!

Also AH is a boutique game, I've played off and on since 1999 and HTC has never seemed bothered by low numbers of subscribers, in fact it seems like they like it that way. That's something forum posters often fail to consider.

Even more misleading is the fact that many people with Facebook accounts never use Facebook. They have an account so they can post on a news site or some other site that only allows Facebook post. Facebook otherwise never gets used.

I  reckon advertising will come when stutters are gone..
It would be a Broken product shoved out into the market to proceed now..
Bet it is infuriating them no end
Also as non mercian...doing my bit..I do have Facebook but it is not going to show what video games I play..aces high is a guilty pleasure for me..its not something I shout about..
Hope they iron out the stutters and get some ads on tv or the Internet or even your Facebook..twitter.myspace !..anywhere really..and we get some numbers back...we need the numbers globally too..!

Where is this study posted?

Important, but not what I would consider "not many"...
