FF14 player count reached the lowest point in 4 years. We lost 75% of the playerbase.

And once again, you have yet to provide any logical reason why Steam players are different enough as a cohort to render them statistically irrelevant.

All one can gather from the Steam Charts is that fewer people are actively playing at the same time. How do you equate that with "losing 75% of the playerbase"?

And what is meant by the term "losing"? Because last time I checked, Steam does not report subscription numbers for online games. Those numbers are more important to Square Enix's bottom line. I don't count 17.3 billion yen in profits as "losing".
