Square Enix, Are we really just pretending that WoW isn't running laps around you?

Also, We just got 7.2 and playercount only shot up by 4,500ish on steam which is the primary gaming platform despite what any clown wants to say. No platform has more users than Steam, If they did they'd publicly hype it and wouldn't hide ACTIVE user counts.

Assassins Creed Shadow has more players, At what point does this ring alarm bells for SE?

I actually disagree. This game is an outlier in that most people actually don't play it through the Steam launcher. Not saying that Steam numbers aren't a valid indicator, I'm just stating a fact that most people use the freestanding launcher. Especially if they use mods, which can ONLY be done through a 3rd party launcher, and trust me, that playerbase is high.
