    As I have discussed in earlier posts, that 'peak players' statistic (used to indicate a 70% drop) is a worthless value when one wants to discuss the number of actual daily players who use a Steam account for their subscription.

    The average of the 'average players' column over the last year is 23,672.59.

    In March 2023, that value was 21,718.3, which is 91% of the average for the year. In December 2022 that number was 18,445.6, which is over 3,000 players less than March 2023! That is not a 70% drop using anyone's math.

    So, stop writing "lost 70% of player base". The number is false. That argument is so bad that even basic statistics denies the claim.
