Oh, I'm not saying that the reporting is why they don't sell games. I just think it's mostly nonsense.
I'm saying that they have a big enough sample to recognize that pulling off of Steam isn't a reasonable path forward, because people aren't willing to deal with their launcher or epic. They know that they can't push Valve around.
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't interpreting it that way, it seems clear that they want to eliminate Steam's reporting just because it makes them look bad, not because the numbers themselves are influencing sales
