[QUOTE="gss000, post: 8644547, member: 7016012"] Your last sentence is all ICV2 numbers show. Here's a math example of why it's not the best. Say in one quarter the rankings translate to these types of sales: #1 D&D 5E - represents $100 million in sales #2 Call of Cthulhu - represents $31 million in sales #3 PF2 - represents $25 million in sales Then the next quarter there's the following: #1 D&D 5E - represents $100 million in sales #2 PF2 - represents $20 million in sales #3 Call of Cthulhu - represents $15 million in sales That's just one scenario. I could construct others for PF2 sales rising or staying the same. Because you only see the #1, #2, #3, and not the numbers that give them that rank there can be multiple explanations for the same results. And I don't disagree that there is issue with a single VTT stat. But that one stat shows you a trend at least, which this does not. Ranking without rationale tells you little. I can go on a side discussion on what the Roll20 number, and what we know about other VTTs, tell you but that's not addressing your statement. [/QUOTE]
