Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
The only time they release data is when the number is good. And more often than not it is a misleading number (for example 100 million accounts when there are only 10k concurrent players etc...)
Like some WoW induced inferiority complex.
There's a host of other data which they certainly track but rarely share (concurrent users online, active month to month etc) unless they reach some record breaking level and only in a good way.
As mentioned, we are often fed "weasel" stats, like Zenimax touting how millions tried ESO in 2020. Yeah, but how many stuck around, and for how long, those figures will never see the light of day.
Back on topic, it is why I always dismissed SD's claims of providing secret insight into such figures, they were providing their best SWAGs like most everyone else because developers had no more motivation to share such data with them than they did with us.
