31213 people played 1000 games to get black belt,just a mere
1781 people played 10k games to get 10th dan,833 ppl got master
and 579 got to custom

the worst part apparently are the 4 million players that abandoned the game
before even playing 20 games,but lets say they didn't understand the game,
they got hyped,they got bored etc.

in truth the worst part is later were you see dedicated players,that played
the game and they know the game,quitting.

so 2 major problems,the newly attracted players never start playing
and the older dedicated players stop after awhile for various reasons
