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.
Yes, with how many people play the game on steam it is absolutely a valid sample size. IIRC 800 is roughly the point where a sample size becomes big enough to account for statistical error. At a glance on steamcharts the avg player numbers have been pretty stable at around 25k since april. March has been a low at around 17k average. I'm no expert in statistics so if those numbers are indicative of the game heavily bleeding player numbers, someone needs to explain how.
