Ill be honest. If player number stats were used in the way of just data and entertainment, then id disagree full stop. However, people use player count as a way to judge if they will like a game or not. I feel thats inaccurate.
If its a multiplayer game, then player count matters as you cant play with only 1 person. But to judge a single player game on player count and not merit, is dumb. And that's the new trend. So I actually agree and disagree on this one lol just my own opinion.
