I am a non-steam player. I might be the only one left
My point was, that we don't know it. Without official numbers from FDev we're literally in the black. I'm just pointing toward general gaming population preferences, which may or may not apply to the forum population ;-) So being dismissive of steam numbers is as wrong as treating them as single source of truth. We simply don't know. But it can be used for gauging trends, and given that Braben is always Braggin' [see what I did there?

] about steam sales whenever a game lands in the top-lists on Steam, I'd still lean towards steam charts instead of whatever obscure fdev platform a subset of people here use. And we need to remember that you can purchase the game on Oculus Store too, and Oculus has a lead in PCVR headsets iirc. So another platform not counting to stats, possibly. IDK if FDev's using oculus native sdk or going through SteamVR, I'm sure someone here can provide insight.
