Its worse than that. The game was £5. If you want to win the argument badly enough then spend £5 as many times as makes you happy and then log in with them for a bit. People do it, im not pointing any fingers but it does happen.

Conspiracy confirmed. People buying copies of ED to artificially make ED look like its doing better then ever before.
Meanwhile I'll use the new features in my friends list in game to see when folks have last played Elite since of my 5 pages of friends, I saw only one or two on prior to the update and that's now up to maybe 3-4 at peak. Back in the old days, I'd typically see 10-15 or more on when I played.
Scrolls thru list--ok, maybe 10-15 have played in the past week. Another 10-20 have played in the past year. The rest: 2+ years ago. That's not a picture of health to me, imo.

I guess what I’m suggesting is “$15 for the full game” might be a tipping point in a way that none of the other sales have been.
The only reason I care about the Steam numbers is that I want to continue playing this game and need Frontier to continue developing and supporting the game. I don't need the Steam information to address this concern, but the numbers show a trend, which is comforting.
With updates and paid content, there will be more players and more micro-transactions. I can only speculate about how many all-black Mambas are flying around and how much cash FD generated over the holidays, but apparently enough people play and buy bobble heads to make updates worthwhile.
I'm not ready to start worrying.

Yes, but a tipping point for who? There are others with more interest in the game where the tipping point might've been €20. And before that €25. And so on... Why should we assume that the amount of people who don't care about Elite but buy it for €15 would be higher than the amount of people who do care about it and buy it for €20?

If I had the time, I'd find all the "high numbers after an update mean nothing" quotes on the No Man's Sky thread and post them here, not because I'm anti-ED, but rather because anyone who uses one standard for their beloved game and another for their "I don't like it game" should be the ones eating their sock.
That's not directed at you, OP, just a general observation.
BTW, the only numbers that matter to me are PS4 numbers
Yeah, its interesting how Steam numbers only matter when they go up. But when they're down - like, for 3 years on end - its completely irrelevant.
thx for info, I'll have to add my voice to steamcharts = unreliable numbers.
