Yeah, well, better than losing the entire continent, no? Or, if it's that unfun, then everyone could just move away, and there, bingo, BT is lost, but due to a completely different reason! And then we can solve estate issues in other continents too! What a win-win, and it was probably entirely unintentional too!
But I have doubts that this "lack of fun" will cause BT to be significantly depopulated.
