[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8387317, member: 7026617"] I think at the least the "most" is doing some serious heavy lifting in that sentence that needs more support for it to be taken as a given. Accepting it when there are a bunch of factors in most of those that distort it is also absurd. For example, sales figures will end up ignoring that Paizo has its own storefront where a lot of its sales go, so sales from other sources (where a company does [I]not[/I] do its own sales) will be distorted. So unless you're willing to go in and account for such things, no, I don't think most available numbers are particularly useful. (And that's not even getting into the question of what is being compared to: if its 5e or PF1e, that tells you not much of anything since the former drowns the whole rest of the hobby, and the latter was able to take advantage of a particular period and situation that never will occur again to a non-WOTC company most likely).
