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

Doesnt account in, Xbox, Playstation and non Steam user, and lets be real steam was the least used platform for ffxiv

I don't think you understand how percentages work.

Yes, there are platforms other than Steam. The Steam playerbase is a large enough sample size to make accurate estimations on player behaviour though. If 75% of the Steam playerbase has stopped playing then there is no reason to believe that retention is better on other platforms.

The total number of players on Steam is not a useful metric. The % of Steam players who have stopped playing is a useful metric.
