That Which He Does Not Play

Righttt...when the VAST majority use the windows launcher.

Try again.

Shouldn't Steam stats still be good enough to indicate a trend though? Like anything, yes, they're not representative of the entire playerbase but it's incredibly unlikely that only Steam players would be quitting the game. I don't think there's a significant difference of demographic between Steam users and other PC users.
You guys were also the ones who used Metacritic to prove your point when it suited you and it's literally just 1.2k reviews on a third party website (Not even a tenth of the max number of daily concurrent users on Steam).
Plus, the decrease of players is also supported by Luckybancho, which are probably the most accurate numbers we'll ever get.
