You don't have to see every single player who is playing the game to see a trend. That's not how statistics work.

Yoshi-P will not come down and kiss you on the lips for defending his honor.
It's a pretty small sample size and spiked in activity coinciding with the WoW exodus so it's entirely possible there's an unnaturally large overlap in Steam XIV players and WoW players. Prior to that most XIV players typically warned people away from buying on Steam with how your account gets locked in to Steam-only forever.

And you have no proof that Yoshi-P won't kiss me.
