Fizzer has said in the past on the forums that the game has "Hundreds of Thousands of people" (Which we can only assume he means Unique players and not Alt Accounts) when he was asked about giving everyone more free coins.
But he did not reply to my requests for evidence on either Forums or via E-mail.
I wonder if he may be in denial about this one.
Edit:
