Because the CPI Team seem to be careless of the people's opinions upon the game. They're making for members the few things that were once for everybody in classic CP.

While I know and agree that the team needs money to keep CPI up, making 97% of the game for members only isn't the solution. In the entertainment products field, you need to give a bigger taste of a product to encourage the buyer to acquire it. Take for instance movies; they always give you at first a rough 1 minute teaser usually half a year before it releases, then they gradually release more trailers to encourage viewers to watch the movie. If CPI were a movie, the non-member features would be a 10 teaser video and the team wouldn't give any more trailers away to avoid making their job for free and attempt encouraging people to watch it. Some people are unaware of the vague taste and thus, decide to not risk it. Others would feel like it's uninteresting and and ultimate "cash-grab" for not giving away more content revealing more about the product, but there's always a minority that decide to take the risk and see what the final product is about. Even Rsnail knows that this marketing technique is ridiculous and he said that if in the beginning CP would've been non-member friendly, it would've died before it even turned 2 years old.

Additionally, the treatment towards the community is utterly upsetting. They are completely ignoring the players' requests and opinions about the game. Nobody requests a Radio Disney Music Awards, yet it happened (I believe some asked for an Earth Day event though). Many are asking to at least make the default features available for everybody and the team are still ignoring them. You can't even wear the pre-registered items, nor the customizable clothes off the first 4 blueprints and as you progress in the game, you can't even customize the rest of the blueprints, nor utilize other features offerred in the game like more emojis, more quests, among others. There may not be much for members, but there is definitely too much of a specific feature in particular, I mean, there's new gear, tubes, and even clothing which may be repeated already off the same previous aforementioned features, yet the team doesn't allow everybody to at least utilize the default features. That makes the players feel unappreciated by the game, which generally motivates the players to discontinue paying the features of the game.
