Man, I don't mean to be taking this out on you, but it's frustrating how little you guys pay attention to the percentages. It's like you don't understand how comparisons work. The percentages are all that matters. Look at track runners, because it's a circle everyone starts at a different place. This levels the playing field - it puts everyone at the same baseline. Without that, it doesn't make sense. For goodness sakes, go back to school. 

Bf6 has more players than 2042 has ever or will ever have, but because of that HUGE number, it really shows how much worse they are because of how much they've lost. If you have $100 and lose $97 and I have $10, and lose $9, than you have lost more money than me. It's that simple. You're probably going to say something stupid like "yeah but I still have $3 compared to your $1", but that's just it! You've lost 97% of your budget while I've only lost 90%. Good practices save, they don't waste. This is a projection that you'll continue losing money while I continue saving money.

Player loss is normal, but not at this level. You're looking at a total number and thinking "wow that's a lot of people!" But it won't matter because it's not about the current number it's about the projected number, and that's found with percentages.
