Also, I can't think of a single person who has ever said the game is perfect. Way to set up a straw man when you know you have no actual argument.
How is coping going for you ? The game isnt "thriving", and no matter how much you and the other few keep trying to deny it, steam charts are a very good sample, the only way it wouldnt be a good sample is if you can provide evidence that people playing on standalone and consoles have entirely different activities in the game, which they dont, everyone does a bit of everything in this game. The fact you cant prove that makes the sample from steamcharts valid.
