The game needs to open up

errrr, how to say that : The majority of FFXIV player don't use steam... so... The Steam Chart numbers are very far from the reality.

All scientific studies are done from a sample size, and steam is a large enough sample of the player base it can be used to make observations. Unless you have a good piece of evidence pointing to why Steam would not reflect broader trends you can't expect people to take you seriously by discrediting it without evidence because you feel like it.

A good way to not troll would be: "Actually, steam numbers do not reflect player base trends because *convincing evidence*"
