First that's not 75℅. Second, we don't know if that means less individual players or less playtime per individual player. Or a combination of the above. Which is what I already said several times by the way.

Robot. Didn't you hear, people aren't quitting ED for SC, they are switching to NA instead. Well, they say ED has a bot problem, I guess they're right!
The EGS gave away 8 million free accounts. The vast majority of those accounts didn't even finish the tutorial and don't log in anymore. The accounts bought from Frontier Store directly dropped off significantly once Steam began to sell the game in 2015. So all that to say that on PC anyway Steam numbers are very good representation of total active player counts.
This is completely unrelated to my post. Is it possible that I wasn't perfectly clear and you didn't understand it?
No. Read your post again and see why.
OK so you've gone but I jut wondered did you still enjoy playing the game? You didn't mention that, just the "promises" stuff.
In that case you either didn't understand my post or don't understand steam charts or both. Do you think it makes sense to explain it to you? Just asking before I waste my time.
No. Read your post again and see why.
Another post from the until recently silent portion of the player base that has had enough... we are seeing more of these posts IMO as it's hard to walk away without saying at least something about a game they probably like most of us have LOVED at some point,
but as usual, all we see is derision and jeering from the same old faces, how many LONG term players are leaving without saying a word? the steam numbers would suggest more than you would like to think, but hey at least it's not sinking my end right?

Maybe people are leaving. Maybe everyone is leaving. Maybe no-one is leaving.
If one can't do anything about it one way or another, what's a forumite to do?
If FDev are basing decisions on the future of the game purely on the gravitas levels of posts in this forum then we're all in trouble.
He collected so much stuphz that he collapsed on himself and became a neutron star. Look at bright side, those few CMDRs still playing Elite can use BH to boost their jump range!
I read my post 5 times and I am pretty sure I didn't mention any non steam platforms in those 2 sentences. It would probably help if you explain what you are trying to say.
Why would we be only worried only about steam? It's a proportion of the player base. As per my post.
Noone except Frontier know the real values across the whole player base.
Only Frontier knows if its commercially viable to continuing developing Elite.
Supermassive BH just got a whole new meaning.

Do you have a source for this?
It is common knowledge that approx 8 million Epic accounts were 'given away' but not any statistics about how many play obviously available.
