Okay, since you decided to actually talk about the subject, I'll refrain from your faggot attempt at saying I have no life, faggot.

Anyways, I'm not nitpicking numbers, I've been watching and playing since DotA was a Warcraft 3 mod and Storm Spirit was an agility hero, so trust me, you're the uninformed one. We both know that the large prize pools were because of the % of cosmetics going directly to the prize pool, literally any game can do that and have these ridiculously large prize pools. It doesn't amount to anything regarding investment and a bright future, it just means people like to buy cosmetics a lot, breaking news.

Now about 10m active players, I'd love if you showed me any proof of that, because steamcharts shows it won't even go over 800k active players, and it never went past 1,291,328 active players. proof here

I don't really see the point of saying that games are still a booming business and people shouldn't worry about it, I never said games in general are dying and that we should worry about it. Also when did i ever say X game is better than Y game? are you sober right now?
