The reason Microsoft doesn't care about Halo Wars and is GOING to do nothing is because the community is too small. The select Niche of people that actually post in these forums represent a fraction of the percentage of the players online regularly.
Currently, on average - I see 5k people online each day. We have less than 10k posts in this forum... So realistically, we represent each person posting less than twice.
We need LazyFrog to come back to the 343 forums if we want anything to get done. If we want to realistically get a push for the game to be made - we need more people pushing.
Learn from the Arab Spring! You need to scream it loud enough with enough people to get change. We want this game, now we need to scream for it to get it done.
I personally have given up on Halo Wars. Mostly because I got a new PC and Starcraft2 is just far superior, not because of the lack of population or support from Microsoft.
First, I think if you put the release dates of the games next to their post count, it will add some perspective.
Secondly, if you add all the post from the old HaloWars.com site (this was not always the forum for Halo Wars), you would be surprised which game ends up in first.
LazyFrog and Co., though great players, represent a tiny, tiny fraction of the Halo Wars community, and wouldn't bolster the numbers here enough to make anyone even notice.

"Microsoft doesnt care because there are too few players."
This is a logical statement, as is:
"There are so few players, because Microsoft doesn't care"
I am more inclined to believe the second statement because Microsoft threatened to kill stat tracking (this was probably the biggest blow to the population), and messed up several Title Updates (second biggest blow).
The inactivity of Microsoft was also apparent in their dealing with boosters. People would supply plenty of evidence that couldnt be interpreted any other way than boosting, and some people even said "HEY MICROSOFT, I AM BOOSTING", but still no action.
Microsoft abandoned Halo Wars before the fans did. Microsoft made some stupid moves and statements that leave the fan base with no trust.
